Class Experience

US Grade 2
Students will learn letter/sound correspondence, blending sounds together to form words and skills to decode new words through incremental, systematic phonics instruction. There is no background knowledge required for this course.

Participants will complete an average of 1 lesson per 30-minute session. Independent assignments are an integral part of instruction and must be completed before the next scheduled session. Students are evaluated daily via verbal participation and completed written exercises. Periodic Benchmark Mastery tests are provided to be sure necessary skills are attained and retained.

Parental Guidance
*PLEASE READ - An important note about the realities of the online classroom and my particular teaching methods: Due to the accelerated nature of this course, pacing is imperative. Provided PDF materials will need to be printed and compiled into a 3 ring binder before the first session of class. All independent assignments must be completed by the next session date. Students who miss sessions will fall quickly behind. Please contact me immediately if any problems arise. My classes have a distinct interactive component. Students are required to respond either by voice or movement a great deal during every session. Every response called for is actually an assessment; and allows me to see whether concepts have been grasped or if re-teaching or additional practice is necessary before moving on. The nature of our wonderful online space sometimes makes this assessing quite the challenge. Much like a cell phone, ambient background noise is amplified in the online classroom. Talking, babies crying, dogs barking etc. become difficult hurdles to overcome. Additionally, we at Outschool serve students world-wide. Therefore, our audience is often on different web speeds over vastly different distances, where lag time and echoes can also hinder instruction. Because of all of the above, please know that I may find it necessary to mute students' microphones. Also know that if I must do so, it is only in attempt to hear (and see) all responses. It is not the CHILD that is being muted, but the ambient noise, echo or lag - and never as a penalty. All that said, in order to assure the best instruction for everyone, as well as allow me to assess the work of your children, please have them work in the quietest space available. Thank you for your understanding :)
