US Grade 1
Let's grow in 1st grade :)! This class is a great addition to any homeschool setting and is ideal for children ages 5-7 who already know how to spell simple words, who can count to 100+, who can read sight words (ex: very, what, why) and who can write a few simple sentences independently. This class is designed using a full curriculum to teach the basics that are taught during the middle part of 1st grade. Class sizes are kept small to ensure that all learners get individualized attention within a small group setting that would not be possible in a traditional classroom. 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 Skills being taught in this class: MATH: Telling Time to the Minute Problem Solving Measuring Skip Counting Problem Solving Strategies Word Problems Counting Coins (American) READING: Vocabulary Reading Comprehension Sentence Structure Phonics Skills Reading & Writing Strategies SOCIAL SKILLS: Taking turns Sharing Interacting with others Speaking in a group Week 1 Math: All About Me Game & Telling Time to the Hour Phonics: Contractions Reading & Vocabulary: “Measuring Time” Writing: Informational Story *Please see the syllabus for what will be taught each week.
