Are you looking for a fun, engaging class to add to your child's summer routine to get your child ready for kindergarten? Kinder Connections: Summer Morning Meeting will provide a introduction to key concepts covered in Kindergarten. This is an interactive class that incorporates a mix of slides, songs, and movement to keep little learners engaged. 

We will cover a variety of topics each class! Here is our daily schedule:

1. Greetings
2. Calendar: We go over the calendar and sing the Days of The Week song.
3. Weather Graph: Each student shares their weather for the day. We graph the results and use the opportunity to discuss more/less and addition
4. Number Talk: Students answer a daily math question. We talk about how they solved to problem.
5. Mini-lesson: On Mondays & Wednesdays we have reading lessons focused on letter sounds, and on Tuesdays & Thursdays we focus on math topics. 
6. Sight words: We will practice two sight words each week.

My favorite part of teaching is building relationships! I strive to create a positive, relaxed environment where we can learn and have fun. The lessons are presented using a combination of google slides, discussion, and movement actvities. I do not require students to mute, and I encourage students to ask questions and participate. 

Students do not need to bring any supplies to class. I post a weekly packet in the classroom of printable worksheets and activities that reinforce the topics of the week. These activities are completely optional! 

Each week is an independent unit and does not require previous knowledge. You may start and end class at any time! Here are the topics for each week:
