This is Part 2 of the Summer Series. It has been developed into three parts to help parents make monthly payments instead of one large payment. It is highly recommended that students take all three parts in order to have the most complete preparation for First Grade. Each student will learn the basic foundations of letters and numbers in a fun and interactive classroom. In language arts the student will practice writing the letters, their sounds, listen for the beginning and ending sounds in words, and blend them into words. They will also listen to, echo read or independently read (depending on each individual student) sentences and short paragraphs and respond to comprehension questions related to the reading selection. In math skills the student will add/subtract numbers to 20, rote count to 100, count forward and backward to 10, rote count by 10's and 5's to 100, compare two-digit numbers using <,>, =. It is highly recommended that each student purchases a copy of Summer Bridge Activities (ISBN given in materials list). There are pages numbers listed after each class that correspond with the material we learned in class that day.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Bowling Green State University/ Ohio
I am Teacher Colleen and am a retired teacher with Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Deaf Education. I was certified to teach in the states of Ohio and Florida. During my 40 years in education I had the opportunity to teach in public and private schools, homeschool some of my own children as well as teach American Sign Language at the college leveI. Most recently, I taught ESL through an online platform and worked as an intervention tutor at our local elementary school. My experience in the classroom and with my own children has taught me that all children learn differently. I will provide a classroom where all children can learn in a safe, friendly environment. You will find my classrooms to be very hands-on and child oriented. It is rewarding to see a child's face light up as they understand something new or see them glow with pride when they realize that they CAN do something that they didn't think they could do. I will be offering classes in Phonics/Reading for Levels 1-3, Math for Levels 1-3, Cursive writing, Science camps, Writing workshops, Math Facts Practice and ASL. I do offer a limited number of 1-1 tutoring slots, but try to focus on students that really need intervention to bring them up to grade level. I am the mom of 7 children and 8 wonderful grandchildren (with the 9th one arriving in March!). When I am not in the classroom you will find me spending time with my family and my German shepherd, Ellie.
