1:1 Draw, Share, & Practice Online Learning for Pre-K and Kindergarten
Class experience
Students will engage with Teacher Lily (Mrs. Palmer) through free drawing, show and tell, play, stories, and other fun activities. The focus of this class is to have fun and build confidence through play, drawing and sharing while allowing the learner to familiarize themselves with online learning at the learner's own pace and comfort level. Please note that although we will draw in this class, it is not an art class. It is a fun class where learners, who may be interested in online classes,...
This class is taught in English.
Students will build confidence and practice online learning at their own pace through play and focusing on activities based on learner interest. The student will build confidence and skills in areas they are interested; such as drawing, speaking, and sharing through practice. The students will be allowed to adjust to this new learning environment at their own pace and be able to focus on their own interests. The teacher will introduce new activities for the learner when ready to help them prepare for the opportunity to join group classes when they feel ready and are interested. Additionally, through play and sharing the learner will learn how to sit in front of the camera, share toys on screen, talk towards the microphone, and if capable practice using zoom drawing tools.

Required Supplies (Students may use these items for class) Paper or Whiteboard or drawing tablet markers/pencils/crayons Student can use another art medium such as clay, paint, or even blocks if they are interested. I will send a message prior to future classes if additional supplies are needed for a fun craft activity, but prefer to keep it simple to allow students an opportunity to work more independently and allow parents to use this 25 min class period as needed with only basic supervision needed on their part.
If student is new to Outschool/Zoom, please be in the room or available to help student with mute/unmute buttons if needed. Students will need to have drawing supplies available for class. Otherwise minimal parental guidance should be needed. I may include occasional seated limited movement activity for learners who may need a movement break. This is optional and learner can opt out of participating or I can skip movement activities if requested.
If your student loved a movement/transition song used during class, below is a list of educational creators the teacher incorporates (with permission) in various classes.

These will only be used as supporting materials to provide opportunities for social engagement and will not be used for long periods of the class. The teacher may use books that the teacher wrote about her goat, Oreo and lambs, Herbie and Kirby for students, who may prefer a story to give them drawing ideas.
