Come join me for Kindergarten Learning Circle! This small-group class meets once a week to learn and socialize, and is a great mental warm-up or review for your Kindergarten learner. This is designed to be a convenient, low-prep class. Students just need to bring something to write on and something to write with. We study language arts and math in fun, interactive ways, practice social skills such as listening, and asking /answering questions, and keep our calendar and observation skills sharp as well. **In reading/ phonics we will focus on a new letter and its corresponding sound each week. For example in the first five weeks, we will focus on a new vowel each week and learn the short vowel sounds. We will learn to recognize the vowel sounds at the beginning of words, and in the middle of CVC words. These fun, research based learning activities help students understand how words are made up of sounds and can be taken apart and put back together. Learners can then begin to make new words out of these "building block" sounds. We also learn new sight words per week. **In math, we focus on how written numbers represent countable objects, work on number sense, practice identifying shapes and patterns, work with math stories to add and subtract, and learn to write, say, and understand number sentences (equations). ** Learning is accomplished through games, writing, speaking, and movement, and learners' efforts are always praised and encouraged!
