This class is for every learner that needs help learning their alphabet, expanding their vocabulary, and writing their alphabet. I teach in a fun and engaging style. Learners learn best when they are having fun! I like to give every learner a chance to interact with each other and myself and answer questions, giving them self-confidence. This is a year-round program. Learners can start and stop at any time. We will start with the letter A and go through the alphabet during the 26 weeks and then circle around back to the letter A. There is no prior experience needed for this class. Each class will follow the below routine schedule which is very important to our young learners: HELLO Song, with learners taking turns thinking of new ways for us to sing Hello with Mr. Fuggles as a group. LETTER OF THE WEEK - learn how to sound it out through a song which makes it easier for students to remember. WRITE THE LETTER OF THE WEEK - learners will have a choice to write on the screen, use a piece of paper or anything else they have in the home, or print out printables I will have available for those who would like to extend the learning. VOCABULARY - Through games, fingerplays, and rhymes, learners will broaden their vocabulary with words that begin with our letter of the week. GOODBYE Song Each week I will provide handouts for those who would like to extend the learning. This class is ALL-INCLUSIVE and ESL-FRIENDLY!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi parents and learners. Thank you for checking out my profile!
My name is Sharon Gustin. I majored in Science and Music at SUNY Potsdam. I served as an Education Consultant at ‘Kindermusik’, working with PreK and Kindergarten teachers to learn how to implement Kindermusik, a literacy, and language curriculum that uses music as a vehicle for learning!
I have 30 years’ worth of experience teaching children in my OWN music studio, where I held “Little Musicians” classes for 3 - 5 years old. The immense popularity of these classes with the kids led me to extend them up to 9 years old because STUDENTS DID NOT WANT THE CLASS TO END.
Thanks to Outschool, I can bring my zest, spirit, and experience to your little one.
My teaching style is fun and engaging. Using songs, rhymes, listening activities, and other school readiness activities, I incorporate all three approaches to learning (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) to ensure every learner leaves class excited about what they have learned and craving to return to learn even more!
I can't wait to see your little learner in class!Reviews
