US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten
Students will review colors, shapes, months, days of the week, numbers, and letters. Every week, a critical thinking skill will be taught (you can review a list of skills taught in the Learning Goals section below). Phonics will also be introduced weekly. Story time includes a comprehension check with questions and detective skills to find our letter of the day. With a limited class size, every students will have an opportunity to participate, answer questions, and sing along. This is also an opportunity for me as a teacher to check skills and work with students in areas that need more attention. During class, students will practice tracing the "letter and number of the week". One letters and one numbers will be practiced each week for recognition and writing. Worksheets will also be made available each week to help with writing skills and more practice at home. This class will have fun songs, chants, and interactive games to help reinforce all Preschool & Kindergarten concepts taught on their level. It's amazing what little minds can learn in just 25-28 minutes in class. Here's a look at our schedule: Daily: class begins with calendar time. We will review the months of the year or review the monthly calendar and days of the week with a song. Alphabet and Numbers review are included in EVERY class. Day 1: The "Letter of the day" is introduced, Numbers review, shape of the week, review 2-4 letters for phonics in our song. Phonics review is our favorite part of the class. Students will easily learn the sounds of each letter and remember them through our phonics song: a, a- apple; b, b- ball; c, c- cat; and ..... Day 2: Match concepts (writing numbers, counting, patterns, more or less, counting by 10s, number families, and much more) introduced. We'll practice writing the number of the day and review letters of the week through story time. Critical thinking skills are taught and reviewed. If you are looking for a full curriculum preschool/ Kindergarten class, please consider the 5-day a week class which teaches two letters/numbers, science, and social studies.

Learning Goals
Students will enjoy learning through songs and review material that will prepare them for Kindergarten classes. Each student will sharpen foundational skills while learning letter sounds for the letter of the day, practice tracing for both numbers and letters, begin letter sound recognition, and identify shapes and colors. Each week, we will also incorporate a critical thinking skill such as the following:
-rhyming words
-positional words such as "above, below, in front, behind"
-more or less
-big or small
-long and short
-up or down
-in or out
-hot or cold
-matching skills

Parental Guidance
With young students, a parent nearby can help in case a child needs assistance or help staying attentive. Also, please help your student with the mute and unmute functions in zoom. I do mute students while singing but cannot unmute them in the classroom.
Supply List
Throughout the course of this class, we will use the following. Any variation of the following is fine. 1. Worksheets from the class page are used in each class. If printing the worksheets is not possible, a white board or tracing paper is just as helpful. You can downloaded PreK tracing paper for free. 2. A pencil with a preschool/kindergarten grip will also be helpful for correct finger holding. These can be found among school supplies at stores like Target and Walmart. 3. Basic and big crayons 4. Small items like coins or blocks for counting 5. String, play dough or pipe cleaner for letter/number shaping
