*Join PupPup on her adventure to help her locate all of her missing dog bones! Your learner will engage in an interactive opportunity to practice their mathematical skills while using their imagination to join PupPup’s world.* (Adventures will differ).
In this ONGOING class, learners will practice:
identifying and counting numbers 1-20
shapes
colors
patterns as well as MANY other math skills
HOW:
game-based learning
Hands-on
cooperative learning
themed-days
everyday math practices
repetition (each week has a focus but there will always be skills practiced)
EACH LEARNER will get:
multiple turns in math game
learn different cheers to positively support peers celebrating effort not accuracy
sharing time (weekly show n tell time)
individualized attention from teacher and peer interaction (why I keep class small)
SOME NOTES:
-While each week will focus on a specific number, we will spend some time practicing previous learned material because reinforcement and repetition is key.
-ONGOING means this is a WEEKLY subscription class and you can unsubscribe & resubscribe at any time. (SUNDAY is auto-renewal day when the weekly fee is charged. There will be no charge for weeks where classes are NOT scheduled.
MATERIALS:
-Scavenger Hunt items that may be found around the home.
-I may provide optional materials to extend activities and games from class.
-I can provide worksheets for extra practice on request, however I prefer as a teacher more student-centered hands-on opportunities for learners to practice their skills for some of these early learning concepts.
*I will suggest activities weekly that will incorporate using manipulatives found around the home and hands-on ways of practicing identifying (numbers, shapes, colors) and counting within their own environment.
*Please reach out with any questions and if you would like to request worksheets if that is what you would like for your learner.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Illinois Teaching Certificate
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Northern Illinois University
Hello! I'm Ms. Jennie, and I am SO excited to be teaching on Outschool! I have 5 years of teaching experience in the public schools (Preschool-2nd) as a certified Early Childhood Educator/Special Ed. (with ESL and LBS 1 endorsements). I have experience in a variety of classroom settings including self-contained settings, small group and individual interventions, and Preschool For All to name a few. One unique experience I have had was teaching in Houston, Texas for an internship in a Preschool Montessori classroom with students who were considered at risk.I have a minor in Psychology and strongly believe in building/teaching social-emotional skills both explicitly as well as in the natural moment from a very young age!
My Philosophy:
Children are naturally curious of the world around them. Research shows that when you can provide meaningful experiences that connect with the child’s natural interest, it enhances their learning and engagement. I believe in this as well as that learning can be fun and exciting, so long as especially as a teacher I cater to each of my student’s unique strengths and interests and teach in a multi-modal ways. In addition, I believe that every student can learn, it just may not be in the same way or on the same day as others. Each student and family brings their own set of knowledge and instead of focusing on the "I can't do this", this class focuses on the "I can" and rephrases "I can't" to " I cannot yet." <Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset>
~Sometimes the greatest things we can do for children is instilling the confidence in them to believe that they can and will.~Reviews
