Dinosaur Poop Story Time - Finish the Story (Self-Paced)
4-Lessons (Ages 4-7) Each class will include an original silly story with a cliffhanger. Students will submit their own endings for homework.
Course Summary
Each class will include an original silly story with a cliffhanger. Students will submit their own endings for homework. Writing, storytelling and creativity. Students can also draw pictures of their ending.
Imagine a world where dinosaurs are not extinct and some are even your pets. Take a ride on a pterodactyl or turn into a superhero saving the city from a giant gummy bear. This course promotes a love for reading, storytelling and creativity. My children and I have been storytelling for years. The four stories in this flex course are actually combinations from such occasions. Since my children love dinosaurs and superhero’s most of the stories involve similar themes. I have created a "cartoon like" short video each week for learners to view at their convenience. Be warned, they are very silly. Every class will end with a cliffhanger for your child to finish. Learners are encouraged to draw a picture(s) of their personalized endings. Learners can submit videos or type their story endings in the classroom. I will add videos to read the typed submissions at the end of each week. We will also create a class puzzle for rewards. With each homework submission more pieces will be added to the class puzzle. This class can also help with speech and confidence when choosing to submit videos as homework.

Hello parents and students,
I started Teach Me Truth Christian School because of the need for families to have a safe space for learning. After reading, "Mama Bear Apologetics", I recognized the call for a Christian education platform. Not only teaching children about the Bible, but also teaching apologetics that back up the Bible with science, logic, facts, history and intellectual reasoning. I am passionate about homesteading, homeschooling and working on becoming more independent from the world and government. Most schools in person and online censor Christianity and promote everything else - and I mean everything else! As parents, our jobs are becoming more difficult to protect our children from the evils of this world while at the same time educating them about the truth. Soon after starting the online platform, God called me to start an in-person school as well.
My Teaching Style: I encourage learning through enthusiastic engagement. I believe children learn best through curiosity or play. Teaching online has been my passion for six years. I was an online English teacher with VIPKID for over three years and an Outschool teacher since 2020. VIPKID taught me how to engage with students in a virtual setting. They taught me how to use props, singing and demonstrations to increase learning. I encourage student output and participation during class.
About Me: I have a bachelor's degree in marketing and science. I am an entrepreneur and business owner. I have also been in the beauty industry for over 15 years. I am a homeschooling mom of five. I am constantly seeking creative ways for my children and students to learn new things.
My Homeschooling Style: As a homeschooling mom of 4, my favorite part of teaching is sort of "tricking" them into learning. What I mean by this is, we often play learning games and sing songs. In addition to this, my children have learning games on their devices and we listen to learning songs in the car. Some of our favorite online resources include: Easy Peasy Homeschool, Education.com and Miacademy and Flock School. Some of our favorite learning games are: ABC and sight word bingo, memory match, shout-and-grab, ABC caterpillar board game, dinosaur nest game, Uno, chess, checkers, matching, fill in the blank phonics sounds and more. We love arts and craft time as well as create weekly science projects. My kiddos enjoy both live and self-paced online classes. Our kids participate in chores, taking care of our chickens, ducks, dog and cat. We love projects and currently are building a chicken coop. Lastly, our book work is a small part of learning each day.
