******** The vocabulary words in this class will repeat every 52 weeks. ******* *********Students should bring a pen or pencil an a spiral-bound notebook or looseleaf paper to class. ******* ******* I follow Outschool’s refund policy and don’t issue refunds for missed classes. Here is the link to more information about Outschool’s refund policy: https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/16379-outschool-s-happiness-guarantee-and-refunds?fbclid=IwAR0gV1OH5IgkAFm90yW7RK9CuA-yw3JuZQH8RmEmqY-hpEKsbWvOZyjSr5w_aem_AUQmah0_w9vbtydgAHamziWpfNuqO7DB5PTXRRfcyQvc-kuXElWc6dCa0_HUrgNrYA9QWjS9IB8UoJ7_mXvC7_Xa&mibextid=Zxz2cZ ********** IMPORTANT: at the beginning of each class student should copy the five vocabulary words and the short definitions off of the screen. We will do many activities with the vocabulary words. If the learner does not write the definitions down, they may not be able to complete the activities.**************** *****IMPORTANT: Outschool does not require students to leave their camera on during class. (They must turn it on briefly at the beginning of class while attendance has checked, but after that they are allowed to turn the camera off. ) HOWEVER, I would like your student to leave their CAMERA ON during our class. It is difficult for me to check for their comprehension of what were discussion if I cannot see your student. When a student's camera is off and they do not reply to a question, I don't know if they're not answering because they have left the room, are not paying attention and are distracted, or if they simply don't understand and are thinking about how to answer. If their camera is on, it is much easier for me to assist them and make sure they are getting the most benefit from class. If you would like your students to have their camera turned off during class that is OK, but please let me know so I don't require them to turn it on.******* I am a patient teacher who encourages students to work hard and try their best. Mistakes are ok in my classes! That's one of the ways we learn. I correct a learner's mistake gently and always encourage them to correct me when I make a mistake. I also believe that learning should be fun and not boring! I keep my students engaged and use many methods to meet the needs of different types of learners. In this class students will learn new learn vocabulary words that will improve their speaking, reading and writing abilities. In each class, students will learn five new vocabulary words. They will learn the meanings of any prefixes and suffixes in the words. They will learn the definition and synonyms or antonyms of the words. We will play games and complete activities to help solidify the memorization of the new words and the definitions. Usually in each class students will: 1) be presented five new words 2) learn the meanings of any prefixes and suffixes in the day's vocabulary words. VERY IMPORTANT STEP: 3) write the five vocabulary words and the definitions in their vocabulary notebook. (Definitions are often modified from the one found in a dictionary to help young learners understand the meanings well) 4) complete activities such as doing a word search or a crossword puzzle 5) be encouraged to make their own sentence with vocabulary word to share with the class. (this is sometimes difficult to do when you have just learned a word. I am always happy to help the student make a sentence.) Vocabulary words for each class: Year 2024: 1.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Licenciatura desde Univerity of South Carolina
My name is Maria. I was born in South Carolina, USA. When I was 7 years old my family moved to Latin America. When I graduated from high school, I returned to the US to attend university I have been married for 39 years and have 3 adult children and 6 grandchildren.
I have a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of South Carolina and have been a teacher for over 25 years. Much of my teaching experience has been teaching reading. I have led children's book clubs and read aloud groups. I have taught reading comprehension and grammar, history and American Government to elementary and middle school students. I am bilingual and I have taught Spanish to children and adults for many years. I also have many years experience teaching ESL in person and online.
I love to read. I also love to travel. I've been to the driest desert in the world and the southern most city on the globe. I've climbed a mountain in Central America where you can see both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, and I have kissed the Blarney Stone. I have done many exciting things. I have flown in a glider and a hot air balloon and I have parasailed. But I will never, EVER, bungee jump!
Students in my classes will have fun while they work hard improving their academic skills. I have a lot of experience teaching children online, and I know how to keep students engaged in the lesson. I am a patient teacher. Children matter. Their ideas and opinions matter, and their success matters. I want to hear what my students have to say. I make sure they know I am proud of them.
