****ANNOUNCEMENT**** For the 2024/2025 Class: We will take the week of Christmas off **OPEN ENROLLMENT** Can join anytime! Hello Wonderful Parents! My First Grade Curriculum Class was such a hit, I had many parents request a continuation of the class to keep little learners active with their learning as they enter second grade! This is a year long class that starts on August 29th, however each week is a new skill and you can join in at anytime! If you took my first grade class, or if you are going to be starting second grade, this class is for you! We will learn sights words, and other reading skills. We will work on our reading comprehension and understanding the parts of a story and story elements. We will learn about literature and informational text. We will work on our phonics, fluency, and word recognition. We will learn various spelling patterns, and grammar. We will be building our vocabulary, making connections, inferences, and using context clues as we read. Second grade is a vital year as the students transition from learning to read, into third grade where they will read to learn. We will learn and master a variety of math skills, including but not limited to number identification, number sense, place value up to 1,000. As well as addition, subtraction, shapes, time, fractions , and more. Students will also learn to write and share information in a variety of ways, including drawing, writing letters and words, listening to others, and speaking aloud. Occasionally, throughout the year I will toss in some fun science, and themed learning days as well. This class has a lot of information to be learned. I do ask that you teach your child how to mute and unmute. I do sometimes need to mute, while I am teaching a concept. A simple background noise like a dog barking or someone on the phone, or even an echo depending on their location, or students making sounds, can disrupt the learning and flow of the class. I do love to engage with the students, and I ask that they know how to unmute themselves when called on. If your child is in a quiet environment, muting is not necessary, as long as they are respectful ( ie: not making noises, talking, singing during instruction.) I appreciate your understanding in this! It really does make the world of a difference. I want everyone to get what they deserve out of the class, with minimal distractions. Please be sure to bring a white board, dry erase marker, and eraser or a piece of paper and pencil. Weekly Schedule: Mondays: Letters, sight words, phonics, spelling, word work. Tuesdays: Grammer & Language arts skill for the week Wednesdays: Math skill for the week

Welcome Prospective Parents and Guardians,
I am so happy you are here! My name is Brittney Erickson, I am a mom of five and an educator. I’ve been in the education field for over 14 years. I’ve taught from Pre-K to 4th grade. Kindergarten has a special place in my heart, I taught it for 7 years!
I love hands on learning and learning through play! I love to teach ABC's, letters, numbers, science, arts and crafts, book clubs, legos, and anything Disney themed! I love to cultivate a safe environment, where students can learn through play! I am so thankful that you are willing to invest in your child's education. I work hard to create classes where your child and I can build a relationship, and I can truly come alongside them in their educational journey.
I have high expectations of my fellow teachers and myself in the lessons we provide. I have taken the initiative to create fun, engaging, interactive lessons, and I have gone above and beyond to create lessons with correct permissions and licenses to utilize fun images, themed lessons, and excellent music.
I myself am a homeschooling mom, and love everything Outschool has to offer! We personally love to use Outschool in our home! I can't wait to learn, play and be creative together!
I look forward to seeing you soon! ❤️
Class Policies:
1. Unless the class specifically requires for more than 1 learner ( example: my halloween party or social club). I will still hold class for one student. My children get so excited for their classes, I would never want to cancel on an excited student ready to learn!
2. I will admit students to the classroom right at the scheduled time, even if not every student is present. If there is a technical issue and I cannot enter the classroom, I will contact parents through the classroom page and I will also contact Outschool.
3. I will always finish class as close to the scheduled amount of time as possible. Depending on low enrollment numbers or extended discussion for very active speakers, the class may run a few minutes short or long.
4. If no students are present in the classroom when class is meant to begin, I will wait 10 minutes before exiting. Once I exit the classroom, the class will be considered finished.
