Literature Circle (Pregizer) (3rd-4th)

Title of Class: Literature Circle 3/4

Grades: 3 - 4

Course Description: This Literature Circle class is a place where students will dive into books with cooperative groups to help stories come alive. Students will share interpretations, understanding and comments about the text. We will explore the elements of literature through hands-on activities, movement and connecting to their own lives. Students will work on vocabulary, comprehension and see how stories can take them to another time and place. This will be a supportive environment for all learners where they can share their thoughts openly and build community. It will be fun, engaging and my desire is that kids would love to read!

Each week I will send home a pacing guide, reflection questions and recommended assignments. I am so excited and honored to teach your child!!! If your student took this class last year, this year will have a completely new reading list and activities.

Cost Per Semester: $280.00

Bio: Hi, my name is Alita Pregizer. I’ve been happily married to my husband Chad for 21 years, and we have two wonderful sons whom I’ve been homeschooling since pre-K. I’m passionate about soccer, outdoor adventures, mountain biking, and spending quality time with my family and friends. Each day I’m excited to see what the Lord has in store for me, and I’m truly privileged to serve as a PC Prep teacher. It’s such a sweet blessing to be part of this community. I love getting to know my students and watching them grow, inspired by a love for learning. I believe that every child learns in unique ways, and I’m committed to bringing diverse learning styles into the classroom to meet each student's needs. I earned my teaching credential in Multiple Subject, Elementary Education from Humboldt State University in 2004. I’ve been teaching at PC Prep for four years, and I have over a decade of experience as an elementary teacher in both Los Angeles and at Aliso Viejo Christian School.
