In this fun class , we will meet and begin our day with some fun movement. This class is perfect to set a great daily routine! This means that every class is different from Monday to Thursday and you can choose to sign up once a week or to all four classes offered in the week. We believe that this will allow parents and guardians the flexibility to coordinate other activities during the week. Our classes begin once we have gotten our wiggles out with our morning movement, we will go over calendar and weather. We will talk about how we are feeling as we dive in our thematic games which will help us review our numbers and letters through movement, music and fun! Weekly breakdown: Class 1(Mondays) :We will go over calendar and weather and then we will work on letter recognition, tracing and we will connect it to dinosaurs! A different group of letters weekly! Class 2 (Tuesday) : We will go over calendar and weather and then we will work on number recognition, tracing, shapes and counting with dinosaurs! Math concepts change weekly! Class 3 (Wednesdays): We will go over calendar and weather and then we will work on sound recognition focusing on early reading skills such as counting syllables, sound blending, beginning sounds and ending sounds. Class 4 (Thursdays) : We will go over calendar and weather and then we will work on learning about a specific theme each week. Please view a list of topics covered each week, below.

*******************************
CANCELLATIONS AND TRANSFERS:
Refunds & Transfers: All of my classes follow the limited refund policy set by Outschool. You can find that policy here: https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/16379-refund-policies-and-happiness-guarantee Please contact me for more information or emergency situations.
Late/Missed Class: Refunds will not be allowed for missed classes. For planned absences from ongoing classes, please contact me. Learners are encouraged to arrive in class on time, but will be admitted into the class at any time. Classes will not backtrack for late students. All canceled classes will be refunded or contacted for a suitable time.
For one-time classes:
If within the week, you realize you won't be able to make class, please submit a transfer request from the classroom at least 24 hours in advance. This ensures another student who would like to take the class has enough time to see the opening and enroll.
If contacted after class, I cannot refund or transfer. If your learner is withdrawn on your end within the non-refundable period, I am unable to transfer you. It is best to contact me first for your options.
Class Transfers: I will only issue class transfers 48 hours in advance for a section. Transfers will not be allowed once a class has begun unless the class is listed as ongoing.
Age Guidelines: Age guidelines are not set in stone for every class. Please check the prerequisite skills for each class, and contact me with any questions or learners outside the class age guidelines.
Please test Zoom before class. I like to be fully present with students as soon as we begin class, and do not access my conversations or classroom comments on Outschool after the class has already started.
Class times: Classes will begin at the time they are listed so long as the majority of students are in the class. If necessary, I will wait a few (2 or 3) minutes for a majority to arrive. Classes are designed to last for the length listed in the class listing. Classes may run over or end a minute or two early on occasion. Students will be allowed to leave the classroom at any time; however, re-entry to classes will only be allowed for technical difficulties.
*******************************
RECORDINGS:
Recordings are not automatically shown in the classroom. I like to create a safe, open space for students to be themselves and want them to be as interactive as possible. If you would like access to the class recording or have missed class, feel free to message me so I can make it available to you. Teachers don't get notifications if recordings are requested from the classroom tab, so messaging me is best.
*******************************
CLASS CANCELLATIONS:
If a class has not met the minimum number of enrolments, it is subject to being canceled. I will send a message asking if you'd like a transfer to another date & time or full refund if the class is canceled.
Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding!
We cannot wait to meet your learner!
