***FALL SEMESTER STARTS AUGUST 16.*** This class can be for in-person students who need reinforcement of concepts or to supplement homeschool curriculum. We touch on all kindergarten skills throughout the year, but extra practice at home can really solidify those skills. I provide a variety of worksheets and activities to hopefully catch each learner where they need improvement. **Scroll to the bottom to see classes that are recommended before and after this class. In this ongoing class, students will learn kindergarten curriculum from a certified kindergarten teacher! We will begin each class by greeting each other and reviewing good learner and listener expectations. We will spend one of the three days learning math. This will include songs, Google Slides presentations, hands-on, and written activities. Each reading day, we will sing an ABC song to start. We will learn a new letter each day (3/week) by following the Learning Without Tears sequence and integrating it with ABC Bootcamp to learn letters and sounds. Rhyming, segmenting, and sound play will be incorporated throughout the lessons. We will finish our class by learning writing, social studies, or science, depending on the day and week. This class will be introducing sight words using orthographic mapping and will begin to blend VC, CVC, CCVC, and other types of short vowel words. Students who stay with the class will begin to understand the closed syllables rules and some may move into decoding multisyllabic words as well as increased reading comprehension. EACH CLASS will end with about 5 minutes of social/fun time so the students can share about their lives, toys, or activities. 💜💜I pride myself on developing good rapport with my students as well as creating a family-like culture where the students feel safe, loved, and like they have a community of friends around them. 🚀Our daily schedule will be as follows: Reading Days (class 2 & 3) - 15-25 minutes Reading.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Tarleton State University
I have 9 years of teaching experience, 4 years of online teaching, and 3 years in kindergarten. Though I like all subjects, I have most passion for teaching reading in young learners because it is the foundation of all learning. My degree is in elementary education with ESL certification. I do not have special education certification, but depending on the need, I do use a lot of hand motions and strategies that can possibly help improve learning.
