Please read carefully to ensure all our learners have a fantastic adventure with Pig!

Please join me, as I read an original story "Pig Goes to the Circus". Pig will be going to the circus and will be discovering all the exciting things there are to do and see. Please note that this class is fully interactive. Parents must understand and gauge their own child’s ability to interact on the screen for our activities. All of our little learners are unique and special with their own level of understanding and ability to use technology. Touch screens or iPads are the easiest for most learners but not required at all. If your child uses the mouse well that is great or if you can sit and help your learner, that will work too. There are some activities that are only able to be done on screen such as games and word search. Writing our letters, words and drawing our pictures can be done on paper and held up to the camera (quite common) if your little learner prefers. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me prior to class time.

While students listen to the story they will be watching and listening to our sight words. They will have the opportunity to practice writing our sight words or letters throughout the story with game time at the end. Each one of my Adventures of Pig follow similar format but have varying activities and story level. 

I will engage our little learners in conversation and discuss our new discoveries throughout as we explore what things Pig will find next. My class is structured to be a mix of listening to the story and includes the opportunity for our little learners to speak and talk about the story at the end of each section. 

The Nearpod file share code for our lesson will be in our Outschool classroom 30 minutes prior to class and again offered in the zoom class chatbox if you require assistance with setting it up. You can run Nearpod on a separate device but linking through the OS classroom or run it in zoom tiling it with our class. It is all personal preference. I encourage you to link to the story prior to class time if you are able as this will get our class moving much faster. 

Please understand that this class is interactive and uses Nearpod so that our little learners can draw on the screen, spin 3D images, look around at 3D locations and play games. You are responsible to know your child’s ability or to assist them if needed as well as understand your home internet capability.
