Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Pre-Kindergarten

In this ongoing class we will explore letters, and learn about animals we find on our safari. What animals do you see in the zoo? Let's explore those words and letters together. 

⭐ Every week we will learn 1 - 2 letters. 
⭐ We will explore animals and safari and zoo related words, with the letter of the week.
⭐ We will use our coloring, sticking and manipulatives to make the letters
⭐ Explore the letter formation
⭐ Some of our favorite words are Axolotl, Chameleon, Elephant Shrew, Gorilla, Lemur, Mantis Shrimp and Narwhal 

👷 Lets talk with our friends about our favorite animals! Every class will start with a 'Show and Tell' with our friends!
We will then learn about the letter(s) of the week, and the Words and Animals with that letter. 

This is an interactive and engaging class where learners will share, do hands-on activities and enjoy a fun game with their friends. 

Throughout class I will support learners as they share their thoughts about the animals and practice their letter sounds throughout the lesson. Students will be encouraged and supported as they participate in class. If you feel that your child may be shy or anxious about participating in class please feel free to contact me in advance and let me know. 

This is an ongoing class and students are welcome to join and leave the class at any time. Learners are welcome to join for one lesson or many,
