▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐Course Overview⭐ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Welcome to the 4th level of our exciting and unique K-1 class! In this class, we will continue learning and practicing important skills that are necessary for a successful year in Kindergarten and 1st grade. We will also delve into some language learning as a part of this class. All learners are welcome to join at any time! For new students joining at this level, please keep in mind the following skills that current students have been introduced to and have had practice with: - reading the calendar and talking about days, months, weather and numbers in two languages - creating rhyming words using all letters, blends and digraphs - spelling 3 to 6 letter words by sight and memory - using spelling knowledge to fill in the missing words for sentences - reading all sight words from the Dolch 1st grade and 2nd grade lists - reading 10 page, age appropriate stories with 2 to 3 sentences per page - adding and subtracting 3 digit numbers with no regrouping - counting coins and dollar bills and writing the amounts - we will continue counting our days of class which will begin at this level from number 121. Each week, we will continue to focus on each of these important concepts which also includes calendar information such as days of the week, months of the year in two languages. We will continue counting, adding, subtracting, reading, writing, spelling, rhyming and we will do more writing. We will use a variety of engaging teaching techniques such as chanting, singing, call and response, and interactive activities. Each class will use the following schedule: - Multilingual Calendar Routine - Phonics - letter blends, digraphs, vowel teams, etc. - Sentence reading, spelling and writing - Colors and Shapes - Math - counting, adding, subtracting, money, time - Sight Words - Rhyming - Reading comprehension, learn vocabulary, build fluency, create and write sentences. Languages that will be included during our multilingual calendar time: Spanish, Arabic and Mandarin Chinese 📅 Are you looking for a class that meets 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x per week? Send us a message about a class frequency change. Students are welcome to join and leave at any time.

Supply List
Students should have access to their Zoom writing tools, paper, pencil, crayons, markers and/or colored pencils, writing pad, board or and/or a notebook. We may also use coins, or various toys or manipulatives for counting, adding, subtracting or just for reference when discussing colors and shapes. Students will be successful and enjoy this class with or without any extra materials but the suggestion is in an effort to increase learning while also keeping students involved with hands-on and interactive activities.

Mrs. Lewshawnda Haywood- I have more than 20 years of experience teaching young learners as well as creating PreK programs for schools. I ran a 4 year old PreK program for a charter school in which students were reading at a 1st grade level by the end of the year. I also founded a private school of my own which included 3 and 4 year old Pre-K students who ended their year not only prepared for Kindergarten but also as confident beginning readers as well.
I have completed post secondary credits in Arabic, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese at North Central University and The University of Minnesota. I have been teaching each of these languages at the beginning level for more than 10 years to students in PreK through 8th grade.
