Experience
These twelve classes will meet for 60 minutes. Because many parents are hesitant about whether send their 3-years-old children to school due to the danger of the pandemic situation, these classes have been designed to provide exposition/reinforcement on some basic skills during/before entering pre-K.  Although the subjects of social studies and social science start to be formally taught in second grade, this class is a potpourri of language arts, math, included social studies, and social studies skills.  Small doses of these skills will open doors of fun learning of the world that surrounds them. This is a learner-directed individual or small whole group class of two students. 

⏰Schedule:
All the twelve classes start immediately with language arts, including reading, followed by social studies, and ending with integration of math/science.

😊Class Structure:
This class is structured to have 100% participation from 100% of students 100% of the time!  Students will be continuously participating by responding to academic questions.  Class size will be a maximum of 2 students. For this reason and because of the number of students; students are encouraged to actively participate. It is highly recommended for students to be able to focus by looking constantly at the screen and responding at the teacher's prompting.

✍Classroom Material:
None

My goal is to ensure that each student feels welcomed and comfortable in their new class. The class is stress-free. We will have lots of fun!

Join me as we explore, discover, learn and play together!
