This is a perfect opportunity for those who would like to assist your child in learning on your own time. If you would like to homeschool, but aren't sure where to begin this is a great option for you! I will interact with learners by providing optional activities for them to complete with the lessons.Students can post their completed activity to the classroom for myself and other learners to see if they choose. Students can also respond to other learner's work through a video or written response (with help from an adult.) Each pre-recorded lesson will include a power point with name/ handwriting, calendar, phonics, math, and themed unit activities for the Pre-K level. It is recommended that students know most letters and sounds and numbers 1-20 before taking this class. In a live setting, the class normally lasts 45 minutes. In this FLEX setting, videos will not exceed 30 minutes per week. I will post 2-3 pre-recorded videos each Monday for the students to complete on their own time.

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.
