Thank you for viewing and considering my Pre- Kindergarten class. Please read carefully about the structure/format of this class and if you have questions please contact me.

This is a Pre-Kindergarten Class for ages 4 years to years-5 years old. We focus on Language & Literacy, Writing Concepts, Math, and Creative expression.

This class will meet on Tuesday & Thursday for 30 minutes. Also, this class is offered weekly with new activities.

During the Learning time, I will engage each child in a variety of activities that are developmentally appropriate for Pre-K. 

In each class, we will review Pre-K Concept skills that prepare learners for Kindergarten.

TEACHER MATERIALS: 
I use a variety of teaching aids to enrich the virtual learning experience such as PowerPoint slides, online games, whiteboard, flashcards, printables/activity sheets, books, song recordings, virtual field trips, and on occasion a video that may reinforce the learners understanding of a concept.
