Small Scholar Circle Time | Pre-K | Kindergarten

Welcome Families – Are you looking for an interactive engaging course for your 4–6-year-old? This course is for the preschool, pre-K, kindergarten learner!  This class is also great for ESL learners to build vocabulary and enhance language skills. 

Whether you are looking to supplement an in-person program or looking to add to your homeschool curriculum, then do not hesitate to join today. This class is taught by a certified teacher. 

Learners may join class at any time.  Each session does not build upon one another.  Check out the various sections to see which time best suits your schedule.  If  you have another time in mind, check out the alternate class times to see what works best for your learners weekly schedule. 

In this class, learners will develop and enhance fundamental early learning skills through a themed hands-on approach to learning.  We will focus on literacy and math skills.  I will screen share all visuals so all can interact and have fun learning together.  We will enjoy great stories and utilize one music break at the mid way point in our class. This allows learners to get the wiggles out before our final session activities.  Please have a dry erase board & marker available for your learner to use should they desire. Paper and pencil/markers work too.

~Each class session will begin at the scheduled time even if learners are not present.   
~Parent/Caregivers are encouraged to be nearby off camera (to the side of the screen/camera as this is an Outschool policy.) to assist your learner with technical operations of the live session (sign-in, making sure camera is turned on, muting/unmuting if needed, and sign-off at the end) I usually do not mute learners, however, if there is a feedback noise or noise in the background such as a tv or someone talking on a phone then I will use the mute feature so that all can hear throughout the class. 
~Due to the number of learners and their pace moving through the planned activities, it is possible that we may end a few minutes early or go over by a few minutes.
