Sly tricky foxes, turtles that grow and shrink, fingers that cause magic curses, animals that wash windows...that's the kind of world famed Roald Dahl creates in his children's stories. Roald Dahl is one of my favorite childhood authors and I own almost all of his books. I have loved reading through all of them with my own two elementary-aged children and I am excited to share that wondrous world with your children! Each week, we will focus on a different children's story of Roald Dahl's. We'll play a short trivia game to check for comprehension, discuss some book club questions, then either complete a coloring page, craft, or writing prompt that connects to the story. Roald Dahl's books can easily be found at local libraries, or can easily be found at any local bookstore. Students will be required to read the books before coming to class each week (the longest is about 100 pages, but with big print and numerous pictures). Students can read on their own, or parents can read to/with students each week. ***We will NOT be reading the books during class.*** Week of 5/22 Esio Trot Week of 5/29 The Twits Week of 6/5 The Giraffe, the Pely, and Me Week of 6/12 The Magic Finger Week of 6/19 George's Marvellous Medicine Week of 6/26 Fantastic Mr. Fox Week of 7/3 **NO CLASS** Week of 7/10 Billy and the Minpins ***END OF SECTION*** I love student participation, but I understand some students don't love participating as much. That is fine with me - I don't require students to talk and discuss if they aren't comfortable doing so. If your student just wants to come to listen to the discussion and do the activity, that is wonderful. I tend to have a pretty lax policy with Zoom microphones, but I do prefer that students keep their cameras on during class. Each week, prior to class, I will post on the classroom page what types of activities we will be doing for each book, to give families a heads up if they need to gather supplies. This is an ongoing class, so students are free to join or drop whenever they'd like. This is a summer section. I will create new sections when school starts back up in the fall with different days and times. Students don't need any prior background or knowledge for this on-going class.

***I am currently not doing any LIVE or FLEX classes.***
I have a Bachelor of Arts in History Teaching and a Minor in English Teaching. I have a U.S. state license to teach all classes that fall under the category of history and English/Language Arts umbrella (reading, grammar, writing, literature, and language arts). I am currently working on my Masters of Science in Education in Curriculum and Instruction through the University of Kansas.
I studied Welsh throughout college and even spent a summer stationed in Cardiff, Wales, taking intensive immersion classes while traveling around Wales, England, and Scotland. I was a writing tutor and a teacher's assistant throughout my college experience. I taught in both public and charter schools for 3 years. I even taught ESL online for four years through the international company, VIPKID. I am also heavily involved in my own children's school's PTO program and will even be substitute teaching this year.
I'm a bibliophile (someone obsessed with books) and have a passion for history. I teach about world history, specifically medieval and Tudor history. I also love sharing about different world religions, cultures, and mythologies. I also love sharing about influential people in history. I believe "history" is a "story", so my classes will be far more than just facts and dates--we will learn their stories and discover the culture, the people, their relationships, their experiences, etc.
In my literature classes, we don't just read and summarize. Students will learn about the history and culture of the author as well as the setting of the book. Students will make connections between character growth and relationships to the themes and motifs. We will also focus on text connections (such as text to text, text to self, and text to world).
In my writing classes, students will learn how to "show, not tell." They will be able to find their own individual and unique writing style and express themselves with the written word. I always find something to praise before giving constructive criticism.
In my Welsh language classes, students will have fun learning basic Welsh grammar and conversation skills, as well as singing some fun Welsh songs.
I want to share my passion with my students. I wholeheartedly believe that children really do enjoy learning--they just have to find what they are passionate about and the right way to engage them. I love using a variety of teaching methods to keep students interested. I'm here for the student, just as much as I am here to teach subjects.
Outside of the classroom, I am a wife and a mother of two elementary students. I love to run, workout, and play soccer and volleyball. Reading is my favorite past time, and playing videogames or watching anime is a close second. I love traveling and exploring with my family.
I'm very excited to get to know you!
