In this small class we will go over skills children need to know when entering Kindergarten. I will welcome each child and make them feel special in some way. My goal is for each child to learn, love learning, and not be afraid to ask any question (children typically don't have that issue).

This is only a 25 minute class, so it's extremely important students know how to mute and unmute themselves or have a parent helping them the first few classes. This allows each student to get the most out of class. I will offer interactive moments from time to time so they can interact with each other during a lesson also.

*******For Summer session: I cover all letters and handwriting beginning in June. We will touch on numbers 1-10 as well******

**********I will go through all letters and letter sounds in the fall/winter semesters. In the winter/spring semesters, I will start building the foundations for reading cvc (consonant vowel consonant words like cat, dog, hat etc.).************

I teach to each student. I challenge each student at their level. Even though this is a group class, we all learn differently. It's important to learn each student and teach to them. Some students may be asked to complete additional tasks, but this is because they are ready for those tasks. Some students may need more simplistic tasks. I will assign tasks according to the child's skill level. 

The class will go as follows:
- Welcome and chat time: Welcome everyone and allow everyone to share something exciting they did. Young children love to talk and chat, which helps with language and socialization. 
- Language and Phonics: We will go over letters and sounds. We will find things or think of words that have this sound. We will practice writing letters in words with capitals and lower case.
- Number skills 
- Wrap up and Goodbye 

Students will also learn to raise their hands and wait their turn. These are great skills to prepare children for an in person Kindergarten class. 

Many of these concepts will be taught through song as children learn best with song and repetition. We will also work on various hands-on tasks to reach each learning style possible. We will work a lot with writing, and sensory items like play-doh or craft sand (or sugar is a great substitute).

Again, please note this class will start in August beginning with a letter each week. By December, we will have learned all of our letters and will transition to spelling and reading by January. 

***NOTE** This class will cycle over starting in August if students are enrolled. Please read class description carefully.
