My comments on tutoring Elementary Phonics : Phonics was part of the Language Arts block during my teaching years. Phonics was mainly stressed in the primary grades, but was randomly covered in the spelling text in grades 5 and 6.
I am not the traditional teacher. I believe in using centers and interactive notebooks as teaching tools. By using drama, creativity, projects, and art, my lessons become alive and keep the students motivated. RESPECT is a must in my classroom. Each child knows that he is respected and safe when he becomes a member of my classroom community.
I am a retired elementary school teacher with 30 years of experience. The grade levels I have taught are 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. All my experience has been with self-contained classrooms, which means that I am able teach art, music, and physical education. My fluency in Spanish has also qualified me to teach a DUAL-LANGUAGE 6th grade class. My sense of humor and listening skills are characteristics that make me a successful teacher.
