Learner progress will be assessed daily during each lesson as the teacher sees and hears that the student has become independent in reciting the information learned during the calendar routine. Students will be able to ask and answer questions on their own. Students will have individual turns to demonstrate progress and understanding. Parents can also assess their own child's progress as they become more independent during their participation in class as well as how they are using learned information outside of class.Class Experience

▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐Course Overview⭐ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Welcome to our fun and engaging ESL class! In this class, students will learn and practice essential information and concepts in English. We will cover topics such as days of the week, months of the year, how to read and write the date, numbers, colors, shapes, counting, number order, letter names and sounds, and rhyming. To ensure that students can clearly see the information, we will be using slides. Additionally, we will use a range of teaching techniques such as hand gestures, facial expressions, voice intonation, and body movements to engage and help students learn and understand what is being taught. We will also use chanting, rhyming, singing, and call-and-response to make the learning process fun and interactive. Throughout the lesson, students will have plenty of opportunities to interact with both the teacher and their classmates. 📅 Are you looking for a class that meets 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x per week?

Other Details
Parental Guidance
This class is interactive and students will have an opportunity to write on the screen at times. It will be helpful if they can access the writing tools from the zoom annotation bar. If this is not an option they can have a paper and pencil or whiteboard and marker handy if they would like to participate in writing activities. If they choose not to write, that is ok as well.
