In this year long first grade class (SPRING SEMESTER), students will join the teacher three days a week (Mon-Wed-Fri) for a well-rounded language arts curriculum in phonics, sight words, spelling, writing, grammar, & reading comprehension while having a blast playing games, reading books, doing word work and other fun activities together!! Running on a 36 -week cycle (two semesters) year-round, your child may join at anytime through the year. This class is designed for children who are working on First Grade Level Foundational Reading Skills. FALL AND WINTER SECTIONS RUN SEPTEMBER THROUGH DECEMBER SPRING SECTIONS RUN JANUARY THROUGH MAY ⭐️⭐️All activities will be led by the teacher and will consist of whole class activities as well as individual student work and activities. Since the class size will be small we will have time for students to interact with the teacher as well as one another. My activities will consist of interactive games/video clips/white board and magnetic letter work as well as reading and discussing interactive texts. ⭐️⭐️ Class will begin with a greeting and talking about their day or their weekend. Each class time will include an interactive game or educational video that focuses on a skills we are learning that day. We will also have a writing activity where we practice letter sound relationships, writing words or simple sentences. Each session will also include an interactive text that I am sharing with them as a read aloud or a grade level text that they are reading to me. We will address sight words as well throughout the games, writing activities and interactive texts. We will always end the class with a brief share time where kids can tell me things or share their favorite stuffed animal etc. FIRST SEMESTER ENDS DECEMBER 16th Sign up NOW for the Spring Semester of this class which begins on MONDAY JANUARY 6TH
