Math Mingle for Kindergarten!

My name if Krystal and I live in Germantown, Maryland, USA!! I graduated with my Bachelors in Elementary Education and Special Education! I also have my Master's in Special Education with concentrations in Early Intervention and Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders.  Finally, I have my graduate certificate in Bilingual Special Education.  I’ve been teaching Pre-K to first grade for 12 years!  Being culturally sensitive and aware of all students cultures, I can teach all students! With my special education background, I use many ways to engage and to let all students participate, through the use of visuals, props, etc. I love working with children of all ages and I can't wait to meet your child!

CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS:
I try my best to allow each student to have a turn during all of classes.  If your learner does not want a turn, that's ok too, I understand we are all different.  At the beginning of each class, I always review my classroom rules.  I encourage students to raise their hand for a turn to speak/share out.  This give students a lifelong skill of waiting their turn, but also allows for learners to hear others speaking.  

During most of the class, learners will be muted to limit background noise that can be distracting to learners and preventing them from learning from class.   This is why it is so important for learners to raise their hand.

SCHEDULE
As I am a full time teacher, I follow my school district's calendar.  If my school district is closed on a holiday, I have the flexibility to hold/not hold class to follow my district's school calendar.
******************************************************************************************************************************SIBLINGS
If you have more than one learner that would like to participate in my class, they must be enrolled in my class. I  encourage siblings to participate in class.   Siblings that are enrolled may share one screen during my class.

REFUNDS & TRANSFERS:
Per Outschool's limited refund policy: "Full refund within 24 hours of purchase or up to a week in advance of the class." 

**Please ensure the time is AM or PM when signing up. I teach afternoon as well as evenings to suit all time zones and.  This is a non-refundable policy.

For one-time classes:
If within the week, you realize you won't be able to make class, please submit a transfer request from the classroom at least 24 hours in advance. This ensures another student who would like to take the class has enough time to see the opening and enroll. 
If contacted after class, I cannot refund or transfer. I do understand personal/family emergencies come up and will do my best to support you if I am contacted before class. If your learner is withdrawn on your end within the non-refundable period, I am unable to transfer you. It is best to contact me first for your options.

Please test Zoom before class. I  do not access my conversations or classroom comments on Outschool after the class has already started.  I also do not have a link to the classroom on Zoom.
******************************************************************************************************************************
RECORDINGS:
Recordings are not automatically shown in the classroom. If you would like access to the class recording or have missed class, please send me a message so I can make it available to you. Teachers don't get notifications if recordings are requested from the classroom tab, so messaging me is best.
*******************************
CLASS CANCELLATIONS:
If a class has not met the minimum number of enrollments, it is subject to being canceled. I will send a message asking if you'd like a transfer to another date & time or full refund if the class is canceled. Automatic refunds are issued for no responses after original class start time.
