Other Details
Pre-Requisites
Students should be able to recognize most upper case and some lower case letter with minimal assistance. We will be reviewing upper case letters, learning lowercase letters, and practicing their sounds to later blend and create words.
Supply List
1. I would like the children to bring paper, or white boards, and writing utensils to every class. Something they can easily write with and hold up to the camera to share. 2. I will also be using "Math Link Cubes" periodically for patterning, counting, creating lettters, and addition. It would be beneficial for your learner if they were able to follow along with their own set of "Math Link Cubes." You can find them at local stores near the beginning of the school year for about $10 for 50 pieces. They are also sold online. Thank you.
Language of Instruction
English (Level: Pre-A1)
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been teaching for the last 27 years in a variety of settings. I have worked with children 3 to 12 years of age. I have created curriculum for 3-6 year old's, tutored, been a nanny, an assistant director, assistant teacher for early learners in the school district, and taught English (ESL) online. I have a BA in Early Childhood Education and a BA in Psychology. I love to find creative ways for children to learn and have fun! I believe children learn best through a variety of means including: repetition, writing, movement, creativity, socialization, fun, and a positive attitude. If I do not know the answer to a child's question, I will research it and let them know. Knowledge is a powerful tool that can create a spark for future learning and life adventures. I can not wait to have fun teaching and learning from your little ones! See you in the classroom!
