Hello and welcome! This second grade level class meets 4 days a week, Monday through Thursday, for 50-55 minutes. It runs through May, with a few breaks throughout the year. (See below) 
You can enroll at anytime and you can stay for 1 week, a few weeks, or for the whole school year! 

🌈Expect lots of fun learning, lots of interaction, and lots of encouragement!

⭐️Here are some of the many topics and skills that will be covered throughout the school year, but not limited to:
~~Reading- phonics, sight words, vocabulary, comprehension-analyze fiction and non-fiction texts (context clues, making connections, inferring, character traits, author's purpose, etc), poetry

-Each Sunday, I will post a newsletter with information about the week's learning, as well as any printable resources for in-class learning and supplies needed. 
-I often have additional, optional resources available to print for extra practice, or links to fun activities for extended learning ideas outside of the class time. 

☀️Daily Activities: Ongoing mix of new concepts and spiral review

🌻Additional/Extended Activities:

⭐️Class experience:  Students will learn through discussion, demonstration, slides, stories, flashcards, guided practice, writing, drawing, and games. Our daily activities will include new learning, as well as spiral review practice.

⭐️Sometimes I may need to mute students due to background noise or if we're singing or reading together, as it can get confusing. Please be sure your learner knows how to use the unmute button. It would be very helpful if students have a quiet, distraction-free area, if possible.

⏰ While I try my best to stay on schedule, there may be times when we may not get through every activity planned for that day. I like to make adjustments if the students are not understanding a concept and need further clarification/additional strategies. Other times, we may spend more time than anticipated on an activity if students are showing a particular interest in the topic. 

⏰ Our official class instructional time is 50 minutes.  After that time, I will often offer a few extra minutes for socialization or for assisting those who may have questions or need help finishing an activity. 

Holidays: Sometimes holidays may be mentioned in class as we discuss our Calendar or Social Studies, though activities are not centered around specific holidays. Students are welcome to share about special holidays that their family celebrates.
