Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten
Beginner Level
In this one times class we will read some favorite Dr. Seuss books, like "Ten Apples Up on Top" or "I Wish that I had Duck Feet" work on drawing and counting our own apple project and engage in vocabulary and same sound word activities.

Little learners can build great listening, observation and creative thinking skills during storytime, asking questions and using their imagination. In fact, did you know that reading aloud to kids has clear cognitive benefits? For example, brain scans show that hearing stories strengthens the part of the brain associated with visual imagery, story comprehension, and word meaning. One 2019 study from the National Library of Medicine estimated that children who are regularly read to in the 5 years leading up to kindergarten are exposed to 1.4 million more words than children who aren’t read to during those years. 

We will meet and greet the first few minutes of class so everyone gets comfortable, talk a bit about our stories, make predictions about what might happen and use our listening and observation skills as we read our stories together.

After each story we will look at vocabulary in the stories and identify rhyming or same sound words and create and count our own "Ten Apples Up On Top" project with the included printable. 

Learners who are excited to share their observations and creations are encouraged to do so, but it is not required.

Learning Goals

Students will strengthen literacy and listening skills with finding same sounds words and will practice fine motor work, creating and counting as we work together on our "Ten Apples Up on Top" project with the included printable for enrolled learners.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Because of the age of the class I recommend a grown up be within "ear-shot" to help with any technical hiccups (mic and video) that might come up.
Supply List
Welcome! I'm excited for my class. Please print out the attached "Ten Apples Up On Top" pdf. There are 2 pages in total. In class, we will use the page where the numbers are out of order to work on number identification along with counting skills. The 1-10 sheet can be used for additional at home apple counting too! Your learner can use dot markers, crayons or other writing tools, or you can cut out circles before class to use as the apples when we work on our counting project (you'll need 55 circles total). If you are going to use paper circles, I'd recommend gluing them on as we count the apples.

Hello Outschool Families!

My name is Liz Stone, better known as Ms. Liz, to my Preschool and Kindergarten friends.  Did you know that reading aloud to kids has clear cognitive benefits? For example, brain scans show that hearing stories strengthens the part of the brain associated with visual imagery, story comprehension, and word meaning. 

Experts from the National Center on Early Childhood Development, Teaching and Learning also explain that reading books to kids helps expand the number and variety of words they use. Think about it: The books you read often contain words you might not otherwise use in your everyday communications.

While reading a book, you might end up using more specific names for different plants or animals or use more adjectives  altogether. And this adds up.

One 2019 study from the National Library of Medicine estimated that children who are regularly read to in the 5 years leading up to kindergarten are exposed to 1.4 million more words than children who aren’t read to during those years.

Another study found that kindergarten children who were read to at least three times a week had a “significantly greater phonemic awareness than did children who were read to less often.” 

I created The Pebble Academy, an online learning and play experience for 3-6 year olds, after I fell in love with teaching and learning with Pre-K kiddos as I watched my own kids grow-up. I'm the mom of three and an early childhood educator who wants to help make reading togther and creative learning for 3-6 year olds more accessible!  I've observed the confidence my students gain when I encourage them to participate in an online learning and play experience that is welcoming, comfortable and tailored to them.

In my 30-40 minute interactive classes, I ​will introduce your children to new ideas with activities like picture book reading, songs, show and share and themed activity pages and projects we work on together. Most of my classes include in class activities or ideas for post class at home activities and all my classes ​incorporate ideas that promote pre-reading skills, early math strategies, nature, community, family, arts and crafts, music and physical activity.

Over the past 16 years, I have worked as a teacher and Site Coordinator for Northwestern University’s Weekend Enrichment Program, I’ve taught in my community's Early Childhood Program, I’ve been a lead teacher for 3 year olds at a local early childhood center and I created The Pebble Academy! 

Incorporating fun into reading and learning is what it's all about! For me, nothing compares to sharing an “Aha!” moment with a student. I hope we have the chance to learn together soon and I look forward to meeting you in one of my classes!

**If my posted class schedules don't work for you, I'm happy to try and schedule a class that is more convenient for your learner!
