Come join me for First grade Learning Circle! This small-group class meets once a week to learn and socialize, and is a great mental warm-up or review for your First Grade learner. This is designed to be a convenient, low-prep class. Students just need to bring something to write on and something to write with. Each class will sharpen calendar and observation skills as well as focusing on the topics listed in the weekly outline. Learners will grow through participation such as reading, writing, observing, and sharing their thoughts. I look forward to meeting your learner in a fun and welcoming environment! **Week 1: Sept. 3-9 Reading: Short Vowel Review.
