Informal assessment and sharing final writing pieceClass Experience
This is a fun writing class that explore three different genres of writing while teaching children how to set up their writing. We will work on one concept over two weeks, to make sure the students truly understand it. We will be using different graphic organizers to organize their writing and then work on forming paragraphs to complete their writing pieces over the two weeks for each concept. Every two weeks will learn a new genre. Three total writing genres will be learned in this class. Classes do begin promptly on time. I will greet learners at the beginning of class and then move right into the daily lesson. The students will be able to share their final writing piece for each genre. Students should be able to write a complete sentence before taking this class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
New York Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
I teach a variety of different classes geared toward elementary students ages 3 and up. My classes include ELA, Math, Writing, Phonics, Stories, teaching beginner, intermediate and advanced readers, simple to complex sentences, and much more. I love student participation and encourage it in all my class.
I have 16 years of teaching experience. I teach 4th grade ELA in a public school in NYS and have been teaching for 4 years on Outschool. I have a Masters in Elementary Education, Bachelors in History, Associates in Business. I have taught Pre-k, K, and ESL online. I have taught all subjects. Over my 16 years of teaching, I have gone to many different trainings in ELA, math, behavioral and I am trained in Logics by Ortan Gillingham and currently training and using restorative practices.
I believe every child can learn but not all through the same method. Learning needs to be fun and engaging and needs to be a memorable experience for students to truly understand it.
I am a mom to five wonderful kids ages 6-12. They keep me busy and I love being their number one teacher!
Class Expectations
