Todo sobre los pandas gigantes

Hello! I am Melissa. I teach 7th grade science. This is my 8th year teaching. I have a Bachelors in Education and a Masters in Biology. I am married with two daughters, 12 and 14, three dogs, and one cat. I guess you can say I love animals! I believe that everyone can learn, but we all learn differently. In my classroom, I will present the material in many different ways so that everyone learns. I also believe that learning is more long term when it is enjoyable. So, get ready to have some FUN! I want to build confidence in your learner through fun science, teaching video making, and gaming classes. I have loved science since I was a little girl, and I can't wait to share that passion with your learner. 

When I am working with students, I encourage them to create a sense of community in our classes. They can chat with each other, and may play games together. 

I encourage students to answer questions, and gain confidence in a virtual classroom I will use a variety of questions, at different levels, to assess learning during the class.

Melissa Kennedy's Virtual Class Policies: 

1) I aim to keep classes close to the scheduled amount of time, however, classes with low enrollments or low student participation may run a few minutes under or a few minutes over. 

3) Classes will begin on time, even if all learners are not in the classroom (unless there appears to be a technical issue). I will not contact absent learners during class time so I can focus on the learners who are present. 

4) If no learners are in the classroom, I will wait 10 minutes before exiting the classroom. 

5) Always feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I can't wait to meet your learner!
