Fourth Grade Crash Course with Ms. Kim M.Ed Summer Review & Prep Camp 🥳


In this 2-week, four-times-a-week class, we will review third-grade math, grammar, and reading skills in a fun summer camp atmosphere. We will keep our writing skills fresh with a sentence writing game each class. 

WHAT MAKES MY REVIEW CLASSES DIFFERENT:

1. I use REAL LITERATURE AND STUDENT INTERACTION for our reading skills. It is not reading worksheets, but stories the children will love and guided questions and discussion with me. 

2. I use the SPIRAL APPROACH TO AVOID LEARNING LOSS as much as possible. 

3. Taught by a CERTIFIED TEACHER WITH 25+ YEARS EXPERIENCE teaching grades 3-5 with a Bachelors and MASTERS DEGREE IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION. 

4. We have FUN!!! Games, Games, and more Games!! New, fun, and different!


🎯  Benefits of spiral review vs. skill-only instruction:
I am a firm believer in keeping skills fresh through spiraling reviews. If I teach a skill during the first class, then we do not revisit it, then, the students will struggle to retain this skill until the beginning of the new school year. So, not only will we review grammar and math skills through spiral review, but the reading skills will also be reviewed in each class. I have just listed the reading skills that will be highlighted each week. I will also stop and have a lesson on any particular math or grammar skill that I see students need a refresher lesson on.  MATH FACTS WILL BE REVIEWED WEEKLY.


⏰  Class Structure:
Classes will be run more like a summer camp than a classroom. After direct instruction, class interactions and games will be utilized.


🎯 Class Expectations:
Students should be kind and courteous to one another. Students should be supportive and encouraging. Fun, laughter, and energy are always wanted and encouraged, but they should remain focused on our class content. Please come to class prepared with the Hundreds chart printed out from the class packet and a great attitude!

🐶 My Classroom and Teaching Style:

My goal is to make learning as happy 🥳 and stress-free as possible! My classroom is fast-paced and interactive. It is a kind, caring, supportive, productive, silly, and just a little bit crazy kind of space! I want students to love class and enjoy showing up to learn with me. Students can only learn when they feel comfortable and safe! I provide that environment for my students, then watch as their learning soars! I will meet each student where he or she is and move them forward.
