What better way to learn and practice writing, than to do that with an engaging topic….SUMMER! There is so much to write about regarding summer. In this ongoing class, students will be given a subtopic related to summer that will promote a certain genre. After brainstorming ideas, students start to form and organize their thoughts to support their thought on the topic. Guidance and feedback will be provided as we practice using the criteria needed for various genres. The various genres might include opinion, informative, persuasive, descriptive, personal narrative, and many more. See the rotation below for the genre of the week. LESSON FORMAT -meet and greet -introduce and define the components of a a strong essay for the genre of the week (informative, persuasive, opinion...) -teacher displays and explains the writing organizer that matches the genre of the week -students brainstorm aloud, ideas to explain, justify and support their thought on the subtopic -with guidance and feedback, students will develop their own writing plan using strategies discussed with the organizer -students begin to draft and write on their own with my guidance -students are encouraged to share out throughout the class time to get my feedback and support -students can continue the drafting after class ends CALENDAR of LITERACY SKILLS: June 6: Letter Writing: Tell Someone About Your Summer June 13: Opinion: Would you Rather...Play Inside or Outside?

Hello and thank you for visiting my teaching profile.
I have seventeen years of teaching experience in the public schools from kindergarten through fifth grade. I found Outschool as I was homeschooling my son last school year. I have, since then, fallen in love with all that Outschool has to offer and teach full-time and I'm loving every experience.
Though I have experience in teaching all core classes, my most favorite subject is....I can't choose, ha, ha!. Currently I offer reading comprehension, and writing classes as well as various classes teaching priority math concepts. I believe that if I LOVE teaching the class, then the learner will LOVE learning and in the end learning will take place. My lessons include visual models and manipulatives to engage students with learning in a concrete way. I also use graphic organizers and innovative teaching styles and strategies to support reading comprehension, writing and vocabulary concepts. I am patient and very enthusiastic. Last and kind of least, I love pizza and soccer! Ha ha!
I look forward to your learner joining some of my classes. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.Reviews
