This class will take young learners on a fun filled  journey through the alphabet. Designed for curious minds aged 3 to 6, it offers a fun filled exploration of letters and their sounds. Each week, we'll dive into 2 new letters of the alphabet sparking imagination and learning through engaging activities such as scavenger hunts,  craft activities,  interactive media and movement. 

    Get ready for a lively session as your young learners embark on scavenger hunts around the house, hunting for items that match our letter of the day. Students learn how to take instruction from an instructor and to be a part of a community of learners. My goal is to create a learning experience where children can make friends, have fun and learn foundational reading and writing skills. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to inspire your child's love for letters! Sign up now and let the alphabet adventures begin! 

   Keep in mind that this class meets  for 30 minutes each session twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays. Here’s a description of the letters and activities we will be  learning in the next four weeks of the class.

Learning Needs

This class is particularly well suited to children with ADHD. Children are expected to move around so it is appropriate for children who have difficulty sitting still for an extended period of time.

Parental Guidance

Safety Warnings: Play Doh is approved for use for children and is not toxic should it be ingested but precautions should still be taken. If your child is a sensory seeker or is still mouthing toys and materials please make sure there is an adult present to supervise. Elmers Glue: While Elmer's glue is a common crafting material, it can pose certain risks if not handled properly. Here are some safety guidelines to keep in mind: Supervision is Key: Ensure that your child is supervised while using Elmer's glue, especially if they are young or inexperienced in handling such materials. This supervision helps prevent accidents and ensures that the glue is used appropriately. Avoid Ingestion: Elmer's glue, like many adhesives, is not meant to be ingested. Teach your child not to put the glue near their mouth, and emphasize the importance of keeping it away from food and drinks. Skin Contact: If Elmer's glue comes into contact with the skin, it should be washed off immediately with soap and water. Prolonged exposure to glue on the skin can cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals. Avoid Eye Contact: Accidental contact with the eyes can cause irritation or injury. Instruct your child to be careful when using Elmer's glue and to wash their hands thoroughly after each use. Ventilation: Ensure that the area where your child is working with Elmer's glue is well-ventilated. This helps minimize exposure to fumes and ensures a safe working environment. Cleanup: Encourage your child to clean up any spills or drips of glue promptly. This prevents others from accidentally coming into contact with the glue and reduces the risk of slips or falls. Storage: Store Elmer's glue out of reach of young children and pets. Make sure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent accidental spills or leaks. Read Instructions: Before using any craft supplies, including Elmer's glue, take the time to read and follow the manufacturer's instructions and warnings. By following these safety precautions, you can help ensure that your child's online crafting experience with Elmer's glue is not only enjoyable but also safe. If you have any concerns or questions about the use of Elmer's glue in this class don't hesitate to reach out to me for clarification.

Supply List

The supply list of materials needed for each lesson will be listed two weeks ahead of time so that parents have enough time to have them ready for their learner at the start of every class.

Here is the list of supplies needed for the first four classes:

* Week of March 24, lesson #1: an apple cut in half, a tablespoon or two of paint poured into a plastic plate , 2 or 3 pieces of 8 1/2” by 11” paper. Construction paper or even printer paper is fine. Baby wipes for wiping hands clean would be great as well.

* Week of March 24, lesson #2: a cup of Lima beans, pinto beans, kidney beans or any other large bean, a piece of 8.5” X 11” piece of paper with the letter B drawn in glue. ( Learners will then cover the letter B with beans ) Please have this ready before class but not so far in advance that the glue dries up.

* Week of March 31, lesson #3: One cup of Play Doh.

* Week of March 31, lesson #4: No Materials needed. We will have a dance party.

In addition to having the supplies listed above parents can support their learners for maximum success by making sure the workspace is free from distractions and is well stocked with supplies such as paper for writing on, crayons, markers and also a variety of items their learner is able to access for the scavenger hunt. Crayons and markers and paper is a staple that should always be available in your learner’s workspace.

I would like the children to have the items not too far from the screen so that they don’t go off and get distracted. I suggest that parents put together a box or bag full of items before the class start time so that children don’t have to go too far to get these items but still have the opportunity to get out of their seats and get the items. The bag or box can be filled with a few of their favorite toys, stuffed animals, clothing items and really any items found around the home that will be easy to identify and will not lead your child away from the class. A good example would be a sock, a puppet, a plastic cup. Most helpful of all would be for parents to find things that start with the letter we are covering for the lesson of the day. Make sure to include items that do not begin with the sound of the letter we are covering so that our learners can contrast them with the sounds we are focusing on.

Thanks so much for your support !
