All Things Kindergarten!

Due to several months of low enrollments, I have decided to pause this class and only offer the FLEX version. I will re-evuluate in the Fall:)
Each ongoing lesson will include a power point with name/ handwriting, calendar, phonics, math, and themed unit activities for the Kindergarten level. It is recommended that students know letters and sounds and numbers 1-20 before taking this class. I will also give optional weekly assignments such as handwriting, art, fluency, or science activities. Students are welcome to post their assignments with pictures or videos with the help of an adult. 
-Intro to each lesson/ social skills: Students will learn how to greet others by using eye contact and hand shaking. 
-Name/ handwriting activities: Each student will be provided a name template to practice tracing and writing their names independently. 
- Calendar: I will present a visual calendar via Starfall.com. Students will learn a song for the months of the year, days of the week, seasons, and weather. We will explore holidays, seasons, and weather patterns as well. 
- Phonics: Students will begin learning sight words from the primer Dolch word list. Students will learn to say, read, spell, and identify a 2-3 sight words each week. 
- Math: Math lessons will differ each week. Please see the semester  plans below for detailed lessons. 

- Themed Units: This portion will consist of seasonal activities. Students will engage in social studies, science, writing, and art activities.
