Ir a cazar osos: contar objetos del 1 al 10, movimiento y matemáticas

Hello friends! I'm Mrs. Walker and I live in Nashville, Tennessee - Music City, USA!  I'm so excited to teach literacy classes on Outschool! I enjoy teaching students how to read and to become confident in the areas of reading and writing.  I teach classes involving letter names and sounds, oral reading fluency, nonsense words, and interactive read aloud stories to promote strong literacy skills.

As a former kindergarten, first grade, third grade, and English Learner educator, I have a great deal of experience and exciting teaching strategies to bring to the virtual classroom.  With a Bachelor's Degree from UNC Charlotte and a Master's Degree from Lipscomb University, along with ongoing continuing education, I am current on innovative teaching and learning methods for the whole child.

This brings me to my next point!  I believe in teaching the whole child!  I find that when children are supported socially and emotionally, cognitive learning then takes place.  This is why I always check in with my students to see how they are feeling and incorporate social and emotional learning in my lessons.  I believe the classroom should be a fun and exciting place.  High energy is my style!

Want to know some fun things about me?!  I'm a mom!  My daughter was born on Thanksgiving Day in 2019.  She's my little turkey. I have a very smart husband who is an engineer and we also have two beagles.  On the weekends, we enjoy going camping, watching football, and visiting the zoo.
