Hello Families! Welcome to our classroom! This class is designed for preschoolers and kindergarteners ready to read and solve math problems. Come and join me in this fun, interactive, ongoing class with a certified elementary teacher! I have spent the last four years in kindergarten, and I have had a variety of student's that had different needs and abilities. Every student is special, and I look forward to meeting your student. For reading each week, we will review the letters, work on making word families, and blending the words to connect the sounds. When we blend words, I call it their blending arm. We use our arm and touch the top of our arm to say the first sound, the middle of our arm to say the second sound and the lower part of our arm to make the final sound. We will work on rhyming, reading, and putting the words into sentences. Eventually, we will read small stories with these words included in the stories. We also will work on foundational math skills and reading skills. We will look at the topic, bring schema to the class, vocabulary, questions, intergrade science and social studies in our readers, and so much more! We will also focus on introducing different math topics. I love teaching math hands on using things like blocks, clay, songs, dances, games, and eventually worksheets. I love for students to get real world opportunities and understand why we are learning the things we do. This class is ongoing so your learner can join anytime!

We will do a calendar, days of the week, math tasks, counting, shapes, and more. *** You can join this class any week! Your learner can stay enrolled in this class all year! I also give parents a weekly PDF with a variety of worksheets. *** We will learn: letter identification/recognition, letter sounds, letter writing, sight words, counting, simple addition & subtraction, shapes, & so much more! A few important things to note about my class: * Class worksheets are given for learners to print and complete during class or after. However, you can always use a whiteboard or blank paper at home if printing is not an option. Crayons, markers, scissors, dry erase boards, dry erase markers and glue are helpful to have on hand during class time. When we practice new letters, numbers or anything else, I like to use a dry erase board. It is easier to see when they show me on camera than paper pencil. * At times, my classes highlight holidays. We may touch on celebrations such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day and more. If you have any concerns let me know! * I will mute students when needed to minimize background noise. I will only do this if I cannot hear the students or if the students cannot hear each other. Please show your student how to mute and unmute. As teachers, we cannot unmute your student on our side. * We will practice raising our hands in class. This way all students have a turn to share. There is a idea of what our classes look like: * Monday/Wednesday (Reading Days)- We will start with journals, then go over word families, sing songs to incorporate learning, worksheet on word families, a story, and then a worksheet on the story. We will focus on story characteristics, skills like retelling, character/setting, and more! * Tuesday/Thursday (Math Days)- We will still do journal, our math lesson, review from last math class, introduce new topics, practice questions (I do, we do, you do method), and then they have a turn to do some on their own. * Friday (Experiment/Craft Day)- Review calendar points and theme of the week. This may include play catch up on anything we need to review, craft, or science experiment! I will include this in our packet, and I will post this in the classroom. I would love to get to know your student before class. If you would like, you can fill out the all about me form! I hope to see you soon! If you have any questions, please message me.

Hello!
My name is Hannah. I am so excited to meet you! I am a stay-at home mother two boys named Cooper (6) and Sawyer (w). Cooper is going to first grade this year, and Sawyer is starting preschool. I have a husband who works on helicopters, and we have a German Shepard named Lucy. I love to read, cook, craft, and learn about science! My kids and I love to do science experiments with household items!
I am a certified teacher, from King University. I have also taught kindergarten through third grade in both public and private school, some with various needs. I love teaching, and I want to help learners of all ages! I love teaching reading, writing, science, and social studies. Some non academics I love are: cooking, crafts, and science experiments! I also love just reading a loud with students! You can never go wrong with a good book. In the classroom, I love to be hands on, interactive, tactile, and fun! It is so much more interesting when lessons are fun and engaging. Students will remember it more!
I currently teach children in China through an ESL company. I love teaching language, and I love when a student's light bulb comes on. I have a TESOL certification. I have taught students in China for over two years. I love online learning because we can each more students.
I really look forward to getting to know you and your child! See you soon!
