US Grade Kindergarten
Hello, families! This class was requested by a parent. So, here I am, creating content specifically for your young learners. Together, we will work on alphabet recognition, letter sounds, counting, number recognition, simple addition and subtraction, shapes, and handwriting. We'll discuss similarities and differences, size comparisons, and we will master a few simple sight words. We will cover a broad area to give your learner the confidence needed to begin kindergarten. We will progress through kindergarten content as your child shows mastery of one skill in order to move on to the next. My lessons will often build upon each other. For example, we won't tackle CVC words until we have a strong understanding of letter sounds. We won't look at simple addition problems until we can count and recognize numbers. We can progress to reading simple sentences when the learner shows strengths in letter recognition and sound production. I taught kindergarten for 6 years. Then I taught first grade for another 6 years. I am certain that your learner will have SO much fun through a variety of teaching methods. I love to sing, use rhyme, and kinesthetic activities to help trigger all parts of the brain. This approach will help information stick with your child. If your young learner is already showing strengths in certain areas, please let me know! We can design our time together to benefit your students' needs. My lessons can be tailor-made for your one of a kind learner!

Other Details
Supply List
There might be occasions when I request paper and a pencil for class. I might also request for sometime to be printed or objects to brought. Examples of objects might include: toy cars or crayons or figurines... items we can count or compare by size. I will always send you a message before hand on any supplies needed for that day's lesson.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Teacher Kender! I obtain the following: BA in theatre, early childhood certification, elementary certification grades 1-6, and a master's degree in elementary reading. The most fun I have while teaching is when I can combine the two. I love digging into books and exploring the characters. I always read with crazy expression and sound effects. My read alouds are exciting and fun! I can teach your child to read, and I can teach them how to perform well in an audition. My available classes list will vary because of my love of the theatre and my passion for lower elementary. I was a classroom teacher for six years. All six of those years were spent teaching first grade. I taught ESL online for 5 years, and I have been teaching a variety of classes on Outschool since the summer of 2020. It is my philosophy that more is caught than taught. So, being a good example for your children is key. Surrounding them with others who instill respect, knowledge, and common sense is vital. Finding a teacher who can bring information to them in an exciting and fun way so that it sticks for a lifetime... that is priceless. Let's do this! See you in the classroom.
***NOTE: I will always teach. If the class has one student, I will still teach!***
