課堂經歷
In this class you will follow a boy named Nikolas on every step of his adventure to becoming Father Christmas. We will engage in rich discussions about the book, deepen comprehension by clarifying what we don't know (vocabulary, references that we don't get, etc) and expanding upon what we do (identify characteristics of Nikolas and those he meets along the way, seek to understand the motivations of each character, ask and answer questions, and look for themes.) Book Synopsis: "BELIEVE IN THE IMPOSSIBLE You are about to read THE TRUE STORY OF FATHER CHRISTMAS If you are one of those people who believe that some things are impossible, you should put this book down right away. (Because this book is FULL of impossible things.) Are you still reading? Good. Then let us begin..." Meeting 1: Introductions- Get to know your classmates and teacher through a fun, quick activity What do you think Father Christmas was like as a child? Meet the book- We'll read the back cover together and build anticipation. Vocabulary- Introduction to a few words that will help you enjoy and understand the reading assignment. (Students will be given the opportunity to share what they know about each word before I give definitions. I will use visuals when possible.) Read aloud- If time allows, I will read a few pages of the book so we can start experiencing it together which will help build our class community. As I read, I will ask questions to clarify and/or improve comprehension. Homework- Read the first third of the book. (Approximately 100 pages. Exact chapter names will be posted in the classroom.) Meeting 2: First five minutes: group check-in to continue building community Discussion: What has happened so far? Who are the characters and why do they do what they do?

This book is considered appropriate for students of this age group, but PLEASE research the series to see if it is a good fit for your child. While there is fun and frivolity in this book, there is also sadness, poverty, and some violence. Along with magical elves and flying reindeer, there are also "Truth Pixies" who like to watch the heads of others explode. That actually happens in one scene, but the truth pixies ultimately decide to stop doing that. To help you start your research, below is a link to a blog post called "A Mother- Daughter Review of "A Boy Called Christmas"." It features a synopsis and public praise of the book, as well as two reviews of "A Boy Called Christmas" one by an 8 year-old, and the other by her mother. (Their opinions are their own and this is just a suggested starting place for you.) https://batchofbooks.com/2016/12/boy-called-christmas.html
You can find more reviews, a book trailer, and read the first few pages of "A Boy Called Christmas" by Matt Haig here: https://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/book/13565/A-Boy-Called-Christmas-by-Matt-Haig.html
I will neither confirm nor deny the existence of Santa Claus or any other mystical creatures. If it comes up, I will refer students to parents.
供應清單

I believe that children are the world's best learners! When they are motivated by a genuine interest in something, they are super focused and there is no stopping them. My classes are student centered and, therefore, build on each student's background knowledge, strengths, and needs. My goal is to always create a learning environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves and can practice taking risks in a safe environment.
In 2007 I earned a Master of Arts degree in teaching and highly qualified teacher status in my home state where I am licensed to teach kindergarten through sixth grade. Since finishing my degree I have taught all grades K-6 in various capacities. I have taught all subjects and particularly love guiding children as they deepen their appreciation for books. For the past six years I have worked as a math specialist, teaching both grade level math classes and math intervention.
When I'm not teaching I love to travel, spend time with my family, read, write, swim, and cuddle with my adorable cat, Jake. Every November I participate in National Novel Writing Month, the goal of which is to write an entire 50,000 novel from scratch by the end of the month. In my six years of participation I have met that goal twice! Whether I write 50,000 words or not, it's a great way to relieve stress and stay motivated to write.評論
