US Grade Preschool - 1
Beginner Level
Students will practice developmental skills in this class including, sorting, matching, grouping, one-to-one correspondence, classifying, shapes, sequencing, recognizing numbers, counting and simple addition. They will, engage in activities to play and foundational math skills. Activities will be chosen for each class based on developmentally appropriate criteria for children in this age group. All games and activities will provide the child with the opportunity to learn or practice skills and concepts essential to later math learning. The 20-minute class will be scheduled as such: 3-4 minutes: Welcome and sharing (Names, important events, etc. This is a getting to know you time) 10-12 minute activity 3-5 review of concepts. Supplies for each week's activity will be posted in the classroom.
Learning Goals
Students will practice foundational mathematics skills through games and activities that can be continued long after the class ends.
Other Details
Learning Needs
This class is small so that the teacher can accommodate each learner's unique needs. The material is scaffolded to help each student attain maximum success.
Parental Guidance
Parents will be responsible to obtain the materials listed in the classroom for the upcoming lesson. Parents will also attend class with their preschool child, or PreK child, to assist with making items and to learn how to play the games or use the activities to further each child's learning and understanding. Parental attendance is mandatory.
Supply List
The supplies needed for each class are posted in the description section and in the classroom. Please check for supplies and come to class prepared. I find that most behavior problems result from disappointment when a child does not have the needed materials, and when he or she has trouble using his or her technology. For this reason, it is best to be nearby to help your student, if possible.
