Join Miss Jessy and her puppet puppy, Max, for Circle Time. This is a half hour class rich in fun and engaging learning experiences for children ages three to five. In this class, Max and I will go over fundamental learning concepts (i.e., letters, counting, colors), have time for show and tell, and story time.

I think children learn best when they are having fun and have a chance to personally engage with what they are learning. I will utilize singing, show and tell, and silly interactions with Max to help learners engage with the concepts we cover in this class. 

I will open the class with a fun icebreaker that gives the learners a chance to get to know each other and interact with each other.
Afterward we will go over the letter of the day, followed by the color of the day, during which learners will have a time of show and tell where they can share something that is the color of the day that they have with the rest of the class.
We will then have story time, followed by a time of counting. 

Max, my puppet puppy, will be a sure form of entertainment throughout the class as he participates with the learners and somehow ends up eating way too many doggy biscuits. :)

These classes do not build on each other; learners do not need to attend every class in order to fully appreciate the experience. You are free to drop in and out of the class as your schedule permits.

While this class is scheduled for thirty minutes, the time may fluctuate slightly depending on the number of learners and their level of participation.
