This is first part of the Kindergarten Math Strategy Course, however students can take this class in any order they wish, or even at the same time! =)

In this five week flex course, students will be introduced to strategies that will aid in their ability to solve addition equations, all while working at their own pace.  This class is a flex class, and will not meet live.   I (the teacher) will upload weekly videos explaining the topic of the week, as modeling each math strategy to use when adding.  I will then provide a weekly assignment for students to complete and upload to the classroom!  I will also use visuals in my lessons to help accommodate students who may need it.

Students will be able to communicate through discussions, and will be expected to upload their complete assignments weekly.  Students will use these uploaded assignments in their discussions. 

I'll open a weekly discussion forum for students to share their successes, ask questions, and expect interactions between each other in the process. Students are required to engage in discussion not only with the teacher but with each other as well.  Students can post comments to the teacher and/or peers as well as upload a video implementing the weekly strategy while solving the weekly addition assignment.

Learning Goals

Students will improve and strengthen their addition skills by implementing learned strategies.

👩🏼‍🏫My Philosophy:
It is my philosophy that teaching should always be done in an environment that is healthy, educational, and most importantly safe.  I believe that students thrive when they feel the most comfortable, and by transforming learning into fun activities, it allows students to gain a better understanding on a topic whether they realize it or not!  It gives me such pride at the end of each school year when they can showcase their learning talents to their parents!  I am excited to meet new students and provide the same type of love and enthusiasm to help reach their highest potentials!
