Assessment
This is a class in playing with and learning basic shapes. I will assess as I teach and make activities or questions harder or easier based on the children in the class.

Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten
In this 30 minute, one-time, teacher led class we will play with basic 2D shapes. Shapes we will cover in this class are circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval, octagon, star, diamond and heart.
We will read a book on shapes called "Shapes in Our World" by Pamela Williams. 
We will sing songs about shapes including "The Shapes are on the Board" and "One Blue Square"
We will look at tangram animals and decide where a shape is located near each animal.
We will sort objects we find everyday into their proper shape category.
We will look at a picture and determine which shapes we can find. How many windows does that building have? Do you see a triangle? How many wheels do you see? Can you find the heart?
We will look at street signs and talk about their shapes.
We will do some patterning with shapes.
Let's build a robot and see how many shapes we can use to complete it. Please have a piece of paper and a writing implement to use so we can do this together.

Learning Goals

Students will gain a better understanding of shapes
Students will learn to see basic shapes in every day items
Students will improve their listening skills while listening to stories and in what the teacher asks of them

Other Details

Supply List
A piece of paper or two, and something to write with.
External Resources

A Bit About Me:

I am passionate about learning and have been privileged to engage with over 900 learners from 25 countries since teaching my first class on Outschool in 2020. My classes span a range of ages and subjects, with a focus on full curriculum semester classes for preschool through third grade. I offer many craft classes, often by request, and I am always up for teaching a book club as I am an avid reader. I am always working on more too!

My Background:

With 40 years of teaching experience, I've held various roles, including Montessori teacher, private early elementary teacher, center director, preschool owner, homeschool co-op leader, and private tutor in math, writing, and early reading skills. In my previous position, I taught the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum and I have incorporated many of the basic ideas into my personalized curriculum. 
We homeschooled our daughter from preschool to eighth grade. I have run a homeschool co-op, a preschool program, an early learning center, and scouting groups. I have an educational background in Early Childhood Education and American Sign Language.

My Teaching Style:

I believe that learning needs to be fun, and listening is just as important as talking and teaching. I am not one to mute a learner unless necessary but I will encourage raising hands and taking turns during our games and discussions for all ages. I prioritize active participation and mutual respect.

Something Fun:

Crafting is a lifelong passion of mine, encompassing quilting, sewing, crocheting, knitting, painting, and jewelry making. I'm delighted to share my expertise through crafting classes on Outschool, and I'm always open to requests for new or existing classes.

Communication:

I strive to be responsive to emails, typically replying within a day. My teaching hours are from 8 am to 6 pm CST, during which I also attend to administrative tasks.

Missed Classes, Cancellations, Refunds:

I pride myself on being punctual and ready for class. We do live in Tornado Alley and take storms seriously since being hit by a tornado last March 2023. I try to warn ahead of time if possible. I will reimburse you for technical issues on my side or offer a single transfer for one-time classes if needed. I will teach only one or two students. Some of my best classes have happened with only one or two learners. It can make for great in-depth discussions!
I cannot wait to meet your child.
