***I'm taking a sabbatical from teaching until the Fall 2024 to recharge and pursue some personal projects. I'm looking forward to returning refreshed and energized.***
This course has 37 lessons. As a homeschool mom, I would use this as a full-year for Elementary Science combined with English Language Arts. You can use this course as a springboard to build your other daily homeschool lessons.

Expert teacher creates a warm environment for rigorous growth using Science & Nature as the vehicle for learning. A gamified atmosphere where almost any answer is welcome as long as it is appropriate. This is a social class that allows students to become comfortable talking and sharing ideas in a group setting Students will improve their public speaking skills and build confidence while speaking with others.
Teaching Style:
This is not a lecture-based class. You will hear a lively classroom that revolves quickly between skill, task, and conversation. This is key for my extraordinary learners: sit, stand, perch, wiggle. Your students can do whatever they need apart from yelling. In my classes, the mute button is not something I use in class. Being able to be a part of a conversation is key to forward development: listening, speaking, viewing, and presenting skills are practiced within each meeting.
Areas of Study:
Matter and Energy in Organisms and Ecosystems
Science: Biomes of the World, producers, consumers, food web
Reading Comprehension
Reading Strategies
Main Idea & Key Details

Listening, Speaking, Viewing, & Presenting
Class Structure:
Warm Welcome/ What Did You Bring / Biome of the Day/ Modeling & Practice/ Game
We discuss a new biome during each class. I model idea-generating techniques, getting ready to speak (planning), and how to share ideas in a group setting. I will have slides ready for students to present a biome during class. This will help with public speaking and confidence while presenting. Students can discuss anything as long as the conversation stays on the topic of the day for that class. A countdown timer allows students to talk for only brief moments to keep ideas flowing. Class topics repeat after we go through all 38 areas.
This class meets on the same day and time each week for your particular session. If you want your student to further work on public speaking and confidence, I am open to having your student join on multiple days. They would be able to present new information than they did earlier in the week.
Students will create team names and answer funny questions. I will utilize games I have written on bamboozle.com. An example question would be: Do you dance when you are alone? No personal information is allowed. I will make sure the class is upbeat and fun! No sign-in is required on Baamboozle.
Students can join or leave at any time.

教師の専門知識と資格
学士号 Grand Valley State Universityから 英語 へ
I have taught middle and high school English Language Arts for 17 years. I have taught English literature and composition to advanced students preparing for private high schools with even higher aspirations of attending Ivy League schools. I have taught at all grade levels from grades 4 through 12. I have tutored adult college students in these areas as well. I have taught students with minimal English and seventh-grade students who read at first-grade level. I have achieved great success while completing courses in my doctoral program.
I have a minor in Geography and gave school tours at a Local Nature Center. I love nature and my happiest moments are spent in the woods. As a child I grew up walking through the trails at my grandparents house and loved to see the flowers bloom and change as the seasons changed throughout the year. I am an avid but terrible gardener. I thoroughly enjoy plants and nature and want to share my enthusiasm for the natural world with students through the lens of reading and exploration.レビュー
