Adventures of Pig Interactive Sight Word Story Time

Please join me, for our fully interactive class as I read my original stories of our favorite pig named Pig. Pig will meet new friends, work on our letters, sight words, and play games while we travel the world, space, and even sometimes time travel to far-off lands! The class will be on the same day and time each week. The class is designed to run through the entire collection of Pig Adventures once starting at the beginning.

Each class is a stand-alone class and does not require previous classes or knowledge. This is not a book club, it is an interactive storytime as stated throughout the title and description. Please read the description for further explanation.

Please be aware that the Pig Adventures ongoing series begins with Pig Finds a Friend and cycles through all the core Pig adventures until it comes back to Pig Finds a Friend. We will continue to cycle through the adventures until I close the class. It is the parent's responsibility to track the classes that their child has taken if they do not want to continue through the adventures a second time as learners signup different weeks throughout the series.

Each week we will follow Pig on a new adventure. Please note these classes are the same as the ones offered as onetime classes. It has been packaged for learners that would like to take the class at the same time each week. This class will be ongoing every week as new Pig Adventures are added every month. Christmas Adventures and Winter Adventures will not be included in the line up as there are weekly classes for those in the months they are offered. All other holiday classes (Valentines, St Patricks, Easter ect… will be included.) All seasonal/ holiday classes that are offered in the package are secular.

Each month a line up of the classes will be posted in the classroom. On the day of class, the Nearpod link will be added to the classroom a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the start of class so parents can set up their child’s device. The code will also be offered in the zoom class for parents who want to link to the story through zoom. 

Please note that this class is fully interactive. Parents must understand and gauge their own child’s ability to interact on the screen for our activities. All of our little learners are unique and special with their own level of understanding and ability to use technology. Touch screens or iPad's are the easiest for most learners but not required at all. If your child uses the mouse well that is great or if you can assist your learner, that will work too. There are some activities that are only able to be done on screen such as games and word search. Writing our letters, words and drawing our pictures can be done on paper and held up to the camera (quite common) if your little learner prefers. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me prior to class time.

While students listen to the story they will be watching and listening to our sight words. They will have the opportunity to practice writing our sight words or letters throughout the story with game time at the end. Each one of my Adventures of Pig follow similar format but have varying activities and story level. 

I will engage our little learners in conversation and discuss our new discoveries throughout as we explore what things Pig will find next. My class is structured to be a mix of listening to the story and includes the opportunity for our little learners to speak and talk about the story at the end of each section. 

The Nearpod file share code for our lesson will be in our Outschool classroom 30 minutes prior to class and again offered in the zoom class chatbox once class begins if you require assistance with setting it up. You can run Nearpod on a separate device but linking through the OS classroom or run it in zoom tiling it with our class. It is all personal preference. I encourage you to link to the story prior to class time if you are able as this will get our class moving much faster. 

Please understand that this class is interactive and uses Nearpod so that our little learners can draw on the screen, spin 3D images, look around at 3D locations and play games. You are responsible to know your child’s ability or to assist them if needed as well as understand your home internet capability.
