US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 1
This is an interactive Pre-K hour for your adventure loving student. Each week students will play interactive learning games to uncover clues that will lead them to the "mystery creature" of the week. Each creature featured will be from the show "Octonauts Above and Beyond." Students will practice identifying letters and letter sounds, play math games, review shapes and symbols, and have fun exploring with the Octonaut crew. Each lesson will begin with a greeting. During the greeting student will discover that they are searching for a "mystery creature." Student will play interactive learning games in order to find and rescue the mystery creature. Once the students have worked together to find the "creature of the week" they'll learn all about the creature they've found. Get ready, it's going to be a wild adventure.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from The Ohio State University
Hi there, I am Leah! I am passionate about nature and science. I have a BA in middle childhood education with concentrations in science and math. Since college I have worked with children from preschool to high school. I am currently a work from home mom, and I've been an online educator since 2017. I believe young learners thrive when they are learning what they want to learn. Think about a time when it was easy for you to learn something? What made it easy? I know it's easy for me to learn when I follow my interests and go where my curiosity leads me. Personally, I love running, hiking, cycling, skiing, and being outside as much as possible. I think my passion for adventure shows up in all my classes. Please let me know if you have any questions or class suggestions.
