Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
Let’s learn about real heroines from history! Coloring sheets will be provided to keep little hands busy. Students will have the opportunity to share their drawings and thoughts with the class. Each week we will discuss what we can learn from these amazing women. How can we be more like them every day? 

Every week we will read a picture book from different publishers about incredible women like Harriet Tubman, Malala Yousafzai, and Florence Nightingale. I aim to find biographies that may be new to our students like Emmeline Pankhurst, Josephine Baker, and Zaha Hadid. 

If time allows, we will read and discuss a poem by a famous female poet!

“People would stand in line for days and pay hundreds of dollars if there were a pill that could do everything for a child that reading aloud does. It expands their interest in books, vocabulary, comprehension, grammar, and attention span.” (Jim Trelease, The Read-Aloud Handbook)

Reading aloud is one of the most important things we can do for kids every day. According to Dr. Joseph Price, "[O]ne extra day per week of parent-child [or teacher-child] read-aloud sessions during the first ten years of a child's life increases standardized test scores by half a standard deviation. That's as many as 15-30 percentile points" (Sarah Mackenzie, The Read-Aloud Family, pg. 63-64).

*Students will be muted while I read to eliminate distracting background noise, but we will have interactive breaks.
*I recommend putting Zoom on “Active Speaker View” instead of “Gallery View” in the top right hand corner.
*The 20 minute time allotment is a rough estimate. Class may be slightly shorter or longer.
