💫  Welcome, Bright Stars!  💫

Join us in a fun and exciting adventure as we learn reading and math skills, together! Your little star will reach their full potential and have fun learning with new weekly themes, songs, and more every week! Our class is a safe and happy place for all learners.

During our ongoing classes, your learners will learn and master all the skills they need to succeed in First Grade and build a strong early literacy, math, and social-emotional foundation. These skills include letter sounds, phonics, sight words, reading comprehension, math, addition and subtraction, shapes, fractions, telling time, social skills, and more. They will receive expert guidance from a certified early elementary educator every step of the way.

Our class will meet 2 times per week (Monday + Wednesday or Tuesday + Thursday). No class on Friday unless I notify parents otherwise. Each class will last 30 minutes.

Each week, we will have a different theme and focus on 1 phonics skill, 1 sight word, sentence writing, 1 reading comprehension skill, 2 math skills, and learn some vocabulary with the theme of the week. We will read a new story each reading block and listen to a fun math song each math block.

📅 This class is ongoing so your learner can join any week! 📅

📚 Ongoing Support 📚

I will provide parents with worksheets to print and have their learners complete during or after class. These are optional and your child can use a whiteboard or blank paper at home if you would prefer. Crayons or colored pencils are helpful to have during class time.

I will mute all students when needed to minimize background noise. Please make sure your learner either knows how to mute/unmute. Please sit with them during class so they are able to share when it's their turn. I want your little learner to feel excited to share and not get frustrated when they cannot unmute themselves. From the teacher side of Zoom, we can only "ask to unmute" but the student will have to actually click the button to unmute themselves.

⭐  Let's Communicate  ⭐

I will share a monthly newsletter in the classroom at the start of every month. This newsletter will be a valuable resource for you, containing weekly topics we will cover, any schedule changes, and helpful tips and tricks to support your learners at home. Let's work together to create a nurturing and successful learning environment where your child can thrive!
