Assessment
The learner will be assessed each class by the teacher. We will move on based on their understanding. If the adult woud like, I can provided assessments to give them reports.Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 3
In this tutoring class, we will build off of a school curriculum and go through a school year. We will do a different topic and build onto the next one as the learner is ready. I have mixed a few different school curriculums to find a perfect combination to build on each level of learning throughout the year. Depending on the student's level, I will use bigger or smaller numbers to be able to grasp the concept. We will start with basic number sense, playing with numbers, comparing numbers, counting and skip counting, possibly looking at decimals depending on the level of understanding. From here, we will be moving on to simple addition/subtraction/multiplication/division. We will practice doing word problems and comparing the problems. After that we will do measurement, looking at different ways we can measure things. This will flow into topics like time, money, data/graphs, and patterns. We will then do 2D and 3D shapes. We will finish off with fractions. Each class will be different depending on the learner. I will structure and cater each tutoring session to their specific needs and level. This class is perfect for a homeschooler or a learner who needs extra help following what they have learned in a public school. As a former special education and ESOL teacher, I welcome any and all learners!
Learning Goals
The learner will have a full year of math knowledge when we have completed the topics.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello new friends! I am so excited to meet you and have you in my classroom! :) My name is Erin Purdie and I am a mother of three (Burton 7, Poppy 6, and Penelope 4) from Richmond, VA. I was an elementary and special education teacher for 5 years before leaving the classroom to stay at home with my babies. I taught self contained autism (in a 6th/7th grade setting), 6th, 4th, and kindergarten special education, and 4th grade general education.
I love being at home with my children and teaching them through play, movement, and games. We try to make "learning" as fun as possible, without even realizing we're learning :). I am excited to bring this into the outschool classroom by learning with toys, movement, and play in an energetic and fun way. Through teaching in the public school and playing with my own kids, I have developed a lot of fun ways to learn!
Being a librarian, I also love to read on my free time. My favorite book is "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!" by Mo Willems. My kids love anything by Sandra Boynton and the Pout Pout Fish books. I also enjoy following Jenna Bush Hager's book club and reading her suggested books, when I have time ;).
Class Policies:
1) If a class is small or has especially talkative students, we may end a little earlier or later, but I will always try to end on time.
2) If a scheduled class does not meet the minimum enrollment, I will contact the parent before class time to offer to transfer their learner to a new day and time. If requested, I may choose to teach the class at the original time.
3) Classes will begin on time, even if all learners are not yet present in the classroom. To respect the time of the learners in the class, I will contact absent learners after class to see if they had technical issues or other challenges.
4) If no learners are present in the classroom, I will wait 10 minutes into the scheduled time before exiting the classroom.
5) If I am late because of having technical challenges myself, I will offer to stay late or transfer learners to a new session.
6) I expect for learners to treat each other kindly in class and to show respect for everyone present. I treat others the way I want to be treated, and I expect the same in return.
