Students will look closely at pictures and do "close reads" with books. They will practice expressing what they notice and wonder and will often have partner or group discussions. Through this practice they will learn how to express their own point of view and build on others ideas.
We will build important reading and writing skills and at the end of the year students should be able to attempt to write and spell new words phonetically, read and write common words such as where and every, and write complete sentences with correct capitalization and punctuation.
Outside of being a teacher I have many hobbies including climbing, musical theater, traveling, yoga, and camping. I love listening to music and singing in the car. You might find me at The Front, Powder Mountain, Grounds for Coffee, or in a tent somewhere.
Be somebody who makes everyone feel like somebody.
