This course is divided up into core subjects, such as math, language arts, science, and social studies. We will also have a writer's workshop, and literacy. Each month general topics will remain the same. 
Each week is different and provides new materials and ways to practice for students.
Our class will be a 5 day workweek. 
During the class-time, we will work together through workbooks, visuals, manipulatives in math, videos, discussion, stories. 
Each child will be asked to participate in the lessons, and will each have individual attention from the teacher. 
Every class will start out with Morning Meeting/Calendar time~ and Journal Prompts

In first grade math, we will be working through the student workbook "First Grade Math With Confidence". It covers Numbers to 100, shapes, addition facts to 20, subtraction facts in the teens, length, time and money, mental math and 2 digit numbers.  If your child has advanced past this material, I am happy to move on to 2nd grade materials for your child individually. 

In first grade science, we will be working through Sun, Moon, and Stars, Sound and Vibration, Organisms, Butterflies, and the Oceans.  We will also include STEM projects as we can fit them in.

In Language Arts, students will learn to read independently, parts of speech, grammar rules, reading comprehension, telling passages in order, facts and opinions, syllables, plurals and more. 

In Social Studies, students will learn Responsible Citizenship, Families Long ago and Today, Holidays around the World, Community Economics and Geography.

They will write everyday in their journal through prompts, which will teach them about fact and opinion, Who, What, When, Why, Where, and How, This or that, as well as writing fundamentals. 

As needed, if I see the students becoming restless or fidgety, I will have a brain break to help them work off some energy. There will be   breaks additionally for bathroom, and a snack if needed. 



Scheduling: 
We have 90 minutes of class each day, 5 days per week. Each day the students will get a 10 minute break as needed for bathroom, snack, movement or all 3. They also have the option of socializing with their classmates during that time as well! :) 

I will have a set amount of assignments and lessons planned for the week, and I will be trying a few different ways to teach the lesson, based on how the students respond. Ideally, I would like to focus on ELA and Math every day,  alternating Science, and Social Studies, and remaining time for art on Friday. 

Example: 
Monday-Thursday
Math- 30 minutes- \ break 10\ ELA-30\ Social Studies Or Science 20 min
Friday
Hands on activity art, stem, or themed work.
