Each pre-recorded lesson will include a power point with visual aides. This class is designed to mimic the live version of this course, but can be done on your own time. Students will interact with each other through discussion questions and posting pictures of work via the classroom tab. Students can give a written or video response with the help of an adult. Students will be encouraged to respond to at least one other students' posts. Optional activities will be included, but not required. Each subject will have one video link so you can watch the videos on different days if you choose. The video lengths vary, but with instruction time and independent practice, it is intended for students to spend around 45 minutes total each week. Discussion questions may include: - Were you able to find the letters in your name on the keyboard? - What is the weather like where you live today? - What new word families did you learn today? Were you able to come up with rhyming words? Name them here! - What new shape did you learn today?

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of Texas of the Permian Basin
I was a classroom Pre-K teacher for 3 years before becoming a Stay at home mom/ online ESL teacher. I built my curriculum from the ground up and would love to continue my passion and skill for the little ones. I had several students reading before Kindergarten and many ELL speaking English at the end of the year. My "All Things Pre-K" live class has been successful on Outschool for the last 3 years. I have been a certified teacher for over 10 years.
