Hello Outschool learners. Let's make learning fun! In this Preschool ongoing full curriculum class, we will dig right in and start learning all sorts of academic and social/emotional skills. I am an experienced Pre-K teacher with over 10 years of working in the field. I strongly believe students learn best through play and engagement. My goal is to make class fun but also learn at the same time. I will use a variety of strategies such as songs, manipulatives, props, slides, and games to keep learners engaged throughout each class. Our class will meet 2x a week for 25 minutes. Learners may join at any time. We will practice a variety of skills such as colors, numbers, letters/sounds, shapes, rhyming, patterns, and more. We will also work on our fine and large motor muscles through a variety of different activities. In each class, we will start off working on our conversation skills and getting to know our friends in class.
The class will meet Mondays and Wednesday
* I will use hands-on activities each class.
* We will sing, dance, play games, use slides, strengthen fine and large motor muscles, and learn social and emotional skills.
