Calling all kindergarteners!  Come join Mrs. Dahl for this fun, engaging and interactive class.  Kindergarten Club will  meet one time per week for 30 minutes.  This class is designed to give each student multiple opportunities to share with peers, engage with the teacher and an opportunity to practice kindergarten skills in a small group setting.

During Kindergarten Club, students will learn literacy skills (sight words, word families and CVC words), letter/number writing practice (following the Handwriting Without Tears Method), math concepts (patterns, 3D shapes, addition, subtraction, 10 Frames, skip counting, comparing and measurement), fine motor skills (scissor skills, pincer grasp, eye-hand coordination), and social/emotional skills (turn taking, speaking, listening).  Songs & rhymes will be integrated into each thematic weekly lessons.  Students will have the opportunity to participate in a show-in-tell activity each week.

Each week will have a different skills focus.  The first week of the month will focus on literacy skills (sight word, word family, beginning sounds, rhyming words).  The second week will focus on math concepts (patterns, graphing, addition, etc.).  The third week will focus on science and writing.  Finally, the fourth week will focus on art and continued literacy skills.  Songs, rhymes, fine motor practice, social emotional skills & sharing will be integrated into each class.

Supplies for Each Class:
Crayons, Markers, scissors, glue, pencil, blank paper or whiteboard (for practicing writing letters/numbers).
Supplies needed for each weeks class, and materials needing to be printed will be available and announced in the classroom each Sunday evening by 5pm PST (for the upcoming week of class).  Most supplies will basic craft/school supplies you will have around the house (pencils, markers, crayons, scissors, play-doh, glue, stickers, etc).  

Important Information:
My goal is that all students will be unmuted, however, I will mute students when needed to minimize background noise. The microphone can pick up sound easily.  Please make sure your learner either knows how to mute/unmute, or that you sit with them during class so they are able to speak when it's their turn. I am only able to "ask to unmute".  The student will have to click the button to actually unmute themselves.

I include bonus activities for each week, so that the learners can continue to practice skills learned during class.  These activities are optional but beneficial for the student.
