chess I have learned Chess and played this game for many years. In my various occupations working with children, I have taught them strategies and appropriate moves for pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, kings and queens. I have also played against the computer, and have won many times! elementary (k-6th) I have worked with elementary school aged children for over 10 years in various settings (classroom, child care, mentoring and tutoring). I work directly in schools and currently serve as a paraprofessional teacher's assistant. I substitute in a variety of classrooms, including Special Education (self-contained and inclusion) classes. ESL/ESOL As a substitute paraeducator, I am required to accept positions that provide bilingual services to children learning English as a second language. I have substituted to work with children from Spanish, Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Chinese backgrounds. grammar I have a Bachelors in Psychology from the University of Washington, and I could not have received my degree without learning proper grammar, as I have written many term papers and research papers. I have also helped many children with grammar in their Language Arts courses. phonics I have had experience in teaching phonics as many of the schools I have worked at required a structured system of testing children in phonics. I am familiar with the school district's policies on how to test appropriately.
