오튼 길링엄 포닉스!(레벨 2)

Hello! Welcome to my classroom! 

My name is Miss Jillian and I'm an educator with over half a decade of experience in elementary education. I have taught children of all ages but nothing makes me happier or more certain of my calling as an educator than teaching young learners. I've primarily spent time in classrooms Pre-K 3 through 1st but have tutored and taught students of all grades, K-12! I am certified in the state of Virginia to teach Elementary and Special Education.

I believe students learn best in small groups tailored to their specific needs. I think children are naturally curious and should be encouraged to explore their interests both in and outside the classroom. Good thing Outschool has a class for everyone!

I primarily focus on primary school classes, especially reading and writing. I love to foster a love of reading in my students! Nothing makes me happier than having a good book talk with a student! I also like to teach classes that allow students to steer the ship, like show and tell or reader's circle. I love when students share what they're passionate about with others!

My hobbies include baking and cooking, reading, writing, playing board games, and going for a walk with my dog. I collect fake cacti (knit, eraser, candles...I even have a lamp!) and Little Golden Books. I love all things Disney (especially Disney World...hoping to get to Disneyland soon!) and Harry Potter! I hope to share some of my passions with students through Outschool classes as well! 

I can't wait to see you (or your child!) in my classroom soon! Please reach out with any questions, I am here to support my students in any way possible. Thanks for stopping by!
