Class Experience

US Grade 1
Let's start 1st grade :)!  This class is a great addition to any homeschool setting and a wonderful addition to any traditional school option.  Class sizes are kept small to ensure that all learners get individualized attention within a small group setting.  It is ideal for children ages 5-7 who already know their ABC's, who can count to 50+, who can read at least a few very basic sight words (ex: the, is, he) and who can write a simple sentence independently (ex: The cat ran.).  This class is designed using a full curriculum to teach the basics that are taught in the first 9 weeks of 1st grade.  Enroll in all 3 sections (the beginning, middle and end sections of this 1st grade class) to achieve a full year curriculum of 1st grade.  

Each lesson will be taught using a multi-Sensory and Hands-On approach.  Children will also be encouraged to engage in conversation (sharing thoughts and ideas with each other) throughout the lesson.  In my experience, this teaching style helps to meet the needs of ALL learners.  This class will be a lot of FUN but will also be structured in a manner that encourages learners to be ready to learn.

Reading, writing, math, science and/or social studies will be integrated into each lesson.  Integrating concepts often helps children to fully comprehend what is being taught.  Curriculum may be adjusted throughout the weeks to meet the needs of ALL learners in each class section.

* Extension activities will be provided each week to help build on the comprehension of what is being taught in class.  You may submit these extension activities to me for grading if you desire but it is not required. 

* * Two other sessions of this 1st grade course are offered throughout the year to help learners complete a full year of 1st grade curriculum.

* Learners will be assessed throughout each lesson.  I am happy to provide formal assessments and grading to those who request it.

* I understand that "Life Happens".  If a class needs to be missed for any reason, let me know and we will work something out :).

All lessons will be taught with the following structure (times are estimates and may be adjusted slightly to meet the needs of learners):
5 min.- Question of the day (this will allow me to quickly assess each learner and make adjustments to lessons if necessary)
10 min.- Math Lesson & Practice
10 min.- Vocabulary and Phonics Focus
10 min.- Story + find vocabulary and phonics focus in story
10 min.- Writing (write a sentence connecting with math and/or story read during lesson)
5 min.- Share Sentence, Cheers + Goodbyes
