Beginner Level
In this 4 time book club, the learners will actively listen to a fiction FLY GUY story by Tedd Arnold. The stories will be read with fluency and expression with chances for the students to interact with the text and make predictions about what will happen next. We will talk about the author and illustrator. The students will be encouraged to discuss characters and identify the problem in the story. We will discuss reading the words as well as reading the pictures to gain a better understanding. The students will learn why it is important to retell a story in the correct order. They will sequence the story using the words: first, next, then, last/finally to strengthen comprehension skills. The students will be encouraged to make text to self connections. Be sure to have a piece of white paper and some crayons or colored pencil for each class, so we can draw Fly Guy together. Each class will feature a new fiction FLY GUY story so learners are welcome to join the class at any time~the lessons do not build on each other. Week One: Ride, Fly Guy, Ride! Week Two: Fly Guy Presents Snakes Week Three: There's A Fly Guy In My Soup Week Four: Fly Guy Presents Sharks

Hi! Welcome to my Outschool classroom.
My name is Betty Nilssen. 💕
I have a BS in Elementary Education with a minor in Spanish from UW-Milwaukee. I am a first grade teacher, but I have also taught second, third and fourth grade, full inclusive classrooms. My passion for teaching reading while incorporating phonics, phonemic awareness, rhyming, comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, science, social studies, math, drawing and writing helps children strengthen their academic skills while they gain academic confidence and a love of learning. Teaching reading is my super power.
However, I always incorporate math, writing, drawing, social studies and science, including magnets and animal life cycles into all of my lessons, as well.
I have three adult daughters and two of them are teachers. My mom was also an educator.
There are so many books to read, words and sentences to write, math equations to solve and fiction and non fiction pictures to draw. Let's get started!
Enroll your Early Childhood Education student and your child will further develop an academic foundation and gain academic confidence with a love of learning. Your child will be a life time reader!
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or if you are looking for different times or dates for classes.
I can't wait to work with you and your child and further a passion for learning!
