US Grade 1
-In this ongoing class, your child will be taught English skills (writing, reading, comprehension, phonics, blending, contractions, rhyming, and various grammar skills.) Math (addition, subtraction, geometry, fractions, counting by 2's, skip counting, place value, and even how to count currency.) Science (solar system, animal facts, weather, seasons, earth facts), Social Studies, Music (through song and movement we will learn songs and practice what we learn.) -This class is offered all year and children may start and pause whenever it's convenient for you. -Every child learns differently and different techniques will be incorporated to accommodate each learning style. -We will begin each class with a fun song, calendar, and weather. Then we will move right along into the lesson of the day. -If someone has a birthday and they would like to tell us, then we will sing "Happy Birthday" to them that day. -I ask that they have something to write with each day so they are able to practice writing letters, numbers, and drawing. -Art is also an integral part of learning. So we will be looking at the pictures in the story to discuss what we see and talk about the different colors. -Every Friday will be our "Show and Tell" Day. This is where students are able to bring anything they want to share with the others at the end of class. This can be a toy, a favorite pet, a drawing, etc. This will allow each child to shine in their own way and share what they want. If they don't want to participate in "Show and Tell" that's okay. This is optional. -At the end of class each day, we will sing a song that helps children end their class time in a happy and fun way. We also play games as much as we can to make learning extra fun! --Each day after class, I will send an activity sheets to parents to print out for their child. This includes but not limited to: math worksheets, handwriting practice, sight words, coloring pages, science worksheets, song lists, and short stories. Each day we will cover a lesson in at least two topics. Some days it might be English and Math and other days it might be Science and Music. A typical breakdown will be: Mondays: English and Math Tuesdays: Science and Music Wednesdays: Geography and History Thursdays: Story Telling and Comprehension Fridays: A mixture and recap of the week's lessons along with "Show and Tell" at the end of class. Week one: Reading: Identify letters, read words using blending techniques, CVC words, and sight words Math: Addition and Subtraction Problems (less than and greater than values) Social Studies: The 7 continents and facts about North America. (We will be looking at a world map and practicing memorization of each continent.) Week two: Reading: Comprehension of a story and the setting.

Hello, my name is Rebecca! I have been teaching for over 15 years and have taught public, private, and virtual schools. I love teaching all ages of students. I grew up in the midwest on a farm and have lived in big cities as well. I am a mother to three wonderful children and have homeschooled each of them. My teaching philosophy is that every student learns differently. Therefore, I adapt my classes to meet the needs of each individual student. I value creativity and expressing your very own learning ability. I make every lesson fun and creative so that each student is enjoying the learning experience. When I'm not teaching, I am making music, singing, hiking, gardening, taking photos, cooking, doing remodeling projects, and playing with my kids. Please let me be a part of your learning journey. I can't wait to teach you! **If you don't see a time that works with your schedule, please reach out to me and I will be more than happy to accommodate a time that works better for you. **Reviews
