It’s fun to be smart! Loved by kids, teacher approved, and parent trusted, Brain Quest Grade K Workbook reviews and reinforces what kids are learning in the classroom, in an instantly engaging, entertaining way. Each page is jam packed with hands-on activities and games covering ABCs, phonics, spelling and vocabulary, time and money, science, and much, much more—with friendly illustrations throughout. Aligned with Common Core State Standards and expertly vetted by award-winning teachers, this workbook is designed to appeal to kids’ natural curiosity, with interactive layouts and easy-to-follow explanations that take the intimidation out of learning. Source: Amazon In this 8 week class, learners and I will work together to complete pages in the Brain Quest, Grade K, workbook. These workbooks are created to review and reinforce concepts they are learning in school. I'll be able to pinpoint a learner's strengths and weaknesses, and provide extra help in those areas. I will also report back to parents these results. I am a fun, laidback teacher who encourages participation and good conversations and discussions. I am very good with both introverted and extroverted students. I am not a strict teacher. I encourage self expression. With that said, I DO maintain class control and keep things flowing. I also make sure that all learners have equal time, and don't allow one student to dominate the class. I have experience teaching ALL grade levels, and I hope to work together with your learner to make their kindergarten year a huge success. Week 1: ABCs Week 2: Phonics Week 3: Spelling and Vocabulary Week 4: 123s Week 5: Shapes and Colors Week 6: Patterns Week 7: Matching and Sorting Week 8: Time and Money

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Wade Hair and I'm the owner and artistic director of the Breakthrough Theatre Company.
Before opening the theater, I was a teacher with Orange County Public Schools for 13 years. I taught at Wheatley Elementary, Robinswood Middle School, and started the theater programs at Howard Middle School, Ocoee High School and Wekiva High School. While at Howard Middle School, I was named Teacher of the Year, and also served as the coordinator of the City of Orlando’s Afterschool All-Stars Program.
I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, with an added certification in Drama (6-12).
I have been performing/directing/producing for over 40 years, starting with the Orlando Boys Choir in 3rd grade.
I left teaching to open the Breakthrough Theatre, which is in its thirteenth season. I am the proud father of two wonderful children (both married), a proud grandfather of two, owner of a cats, and I love traveling (especially to NYC), reading, music, history, and theater.
