Dawn Helton

Hello! I have been married for over 24 years and have 4 children. I started my homeschooling adventure over 10 years ago when we pulled our oldest out of public school. I quickly learned that I loved being a lead learner and started teaching Classical Conversations beginning with Foundations and then adding in Essentials (a writing and grammar program). I currently teach writing at Homeschool Connect and substitute at North Point Christian Academy in various grades. In my spare time, I ride rescue as an Attendant in Charge at Bensley Bermuda Vol. Rescue Squad where I am also Vice President. My family and I love serving at our home church Western Heights Baptist Church and spending time together. I look forward to investing in your child’s homeschool journey and helping them develop a lifelong love of learning.

Description

In this class, students will learn to recognize short vowels, long vowel consonants, and blend sounds before moving on to reading one-vowel and two-vowel words. Students will also practice writing as they trace letters and complete fun activities, using correct

formation, and proper letter placement using the "upstairs, downstairs, basement, houses" illustration. In history, we will go from tracing tulips beneath a windmill in Holland to coloring Tony's gondola in Venice. Students will be introduced to simple geography concepts and the beginnings of American history. We will learn interesting facts from different countries, meet children around the world, and understand the roles of different community

helpers.
