Circle Time With Miss Molly

Circle time provides each learner with an amazing opportunity to develop fundamental math and literacy skills while singing, dancing, reading, and building. Together, we will learn about calendar math, sort, build patterns, predict, measure, learn shapes and numbers, develop number sense, learn the parts of a book make predictions, recall and retell stories, learn letters and letter sounds, and develop concept of word skills.  

Here is an example of how each Circle Time will be structured; 
Greeting

I will be using a combination of songs, hand motions, slides, picture books, and hands-on learning activities throughout each class. Students will participate along with the teacher in recitation of songs and poems and make connections, ask, and answer questions as part of our discussions.

No prior knowledge is necessary to attend this class.
