This small- group class is led by a certified teacher, and class is a great mental warm-up and social time for your First Grade learner. We study language arts and math in fun, interactive ways and keep our calendar and observation skills sharp as well. Each circle time includes phonics, sight words, CVC, CVCE, and/or CVVC words and First Grade Math, which may include addition and subtraction from 1-20, shapes, patterns, skip counting, and number sense. Students sound out, spell , and write words and sentences, play games, listen for sounds (phonemic awareness), and enjoy reading stories as a class. We also have social discussions about our favorite things and we practice math story problem skills while learning to understand and write number sentences. We connect to the learning through participation. Come join me for fun learning in a caring atmosphere!
