Assessment
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

US Grade Kindergarten - 1
Students will learn and have daily practice with the following information and concepts in English: 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. I will teach from slides to ensure that students can clearly see the information. I will use my hands, facial expressions, voice intonation as well as body movements to both engage and help students to learn and understand what is being taught. I will use chanting, rhyming, singing and a lot of call and response as I teach. Students will constantly interact with myself and their classmates throughout the lesson. This class does not require any prior experience or knowledge from the learners.

*Students should be familiar with the letters of the English alphabet as well as their sounds.

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. I will teach from Powerpoint slides that I have created.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
