Homework is not mandatory, but is a nice conversation piece for you and your child, perfectly reinforcing the material covered in class. Plan on 0-30 minutes per class of art activity time outside of class.Class Experience
This is a great introduction and preparation for traditional and Montessori school circle times! With the use of traditional and Montessori teaching materials I will teach calendar skills including the days of the week, numerical skills including rote counting and ordinal counting representing numbers to 31, the year and seasons. I will also introduce colors, shapes and their attributes, letters and their phonetic sound. The children will participate and practice classroom etiquette-raising a hand to speak, taking turns to share their thoughts and listening to others . A simple art activity (color, shape) to go along with our class will be introduced during class and will be encouraged to work on after our class from the comforts of home. I welcome students to post their work in the classroom discussion page to share with the class. My Montessori teaching style is student centered and will encourage students to participate as much as possible.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the days of the week, the month, the year, rote counting, ordinal counting, letters and phonetic sounds,, shapes and their attributes. They will participate in a story and story comprehension and will have an opportunity to work on fine motor skills with a fun art activities.
Every Week: Greeting Song, Color/Rainbow Song, Calendar-days of the week, month, number day of the month, rote counting, our year, putting it all together. Introduce a Letter/ sound and shape. Story and simple paper and pencil, crayon, marker (whatever writing utensil best suits your child) art project introduced to go along with our shape. The art projects introduced will not only reinforce the recall of color and shapes, but will be a nice introductions to the elements of art. The art projects are designed and intended to be an independent, supervised Montessori art activity for after class.
