All Things Kindergarten!(Self- Paced Fall FLEX and Winter Semester)

This is a perfect opportunity for those who would like to assist your child in learning on your own time and pay for a full semester upfront.

I will interact with learners by providing optional activities for them to complete with the lessons. The students can post their completed activity to the classroom for myself and other learners to see if they choose. 
 Each pre-recorded 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. In a live setting, the class normally lasts 45 minutes. In this setting, videos will not exceed 30 minutes per week. 
-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. I will guide the students through Starfall on the first lesson. After that, I will give the option to do Starfall on their own time. 
- Phonics: Students will begin learning sight words from the pre-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.
