It’s time for First Grade! Multi-disciplinary First grade style curriculum using Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Social/Emotional, and Science. Each day will also incorporate fine and gross motor skills, songs, and social skills to keep all types of learners engaged. Each week we will focus on a different theme and each subject/day will fit into the theme. Each day will start the same with a welcome song, calendar, weather, the daily activity, and end the day with our goodbye song. While we will use the same theme for the entire week, each day will focus on a different activity or skill related to that week’s theme. Repetition is so important for learners so each day will have the same hello and goodbye song but the activity for the day we differ based on the day of the week. That way if you join us one day or five, each day will be a little different and further help reinforce concepts. The days of the week will be as follows: Math Monday Language Arts Tuesday (Reading and/or Writing) Social Studies Wednesday Show and Tell Thursday (Friends will bring an item to class that goes with that week’s theme and write about what they are bringing) Science Friday As online learners, they sometimes have the wiggles and that is okay! We will be working on learning how to be in a classroom with other friends. I will keep everyone un-muted as we will be working on taking turns. If for some reason a student is having a little bit of trouble or there is a lot of background noise, I may have to mute a student until it is their turn. I will have each student take turns answering questions and sharing what they want with the class. Students love to share, and I want to encourage that, but I will keep it on track and have the students save some thoughts until the end. This is an ongoing class and I know there will be different students in classes but I do hope to see many of the same faces so the children can build that community with one another. First Grade is a big year full of so much growth and learning! Here are the themes: SEPTEMBER: Sept 12 - 16 Peanuts/George Washington Carver Sept 19 - 23 It’s Fall! Sept 26 - 30 Who lives in the tree? OCTOBER: 10-14 NO CLASS 17-21 Pumpkins 24-28 Spooky things Hope to see you in the classroom!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Tracy or as my students call me Miss Tracy! I currently teach ESL classes online to children ages 4-10 and love getting to meet so many new faces. Before that I spent my time in preschool classrooms getting to introduce the littlest learners (3-4 years old) the ways of school and getting used to school environments. The best part of teaching young students is I get to introduce them to the wonderful world of science, math, art, reading, and so much more! The smiles on their faces as they start to understand is priceless and keeps me wanting to come back and teach them more!
I have a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and am certified to teach K-6. I also have obtained a certificate in the religious Montessori program Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for the 3-6-year old child. I have worked in preschool settings for about the last 6 years but have nannied and tutored for children of all ages. I have been working with children in some capacity since the age of 12, or for those counting the last 17 years! Children make me happy and keep me smiling!
Children have wonderful minds and I love seeing them in action! I believe teachers are there to be the guiding lights but that children will lead how far they can be challenged! I love giving the children the building blocks to make connections and discover new things but letting them get there on their own when they are ready! Each child is unique and I love having a classroom full of students eager to learn and gain insight and knowledge not only from me as the teacher but their peers as well! Children are complex creatures who need nurtured and I love creating that through hands on learning experiences for their minds to grow and explore!
Both of my parents are blind but that hasn't stopped either of them or myself from living life! They instilled a love for travel at a very young age and I yearn to travel again soon! They work hard and have always taught me that nothing can stop you! That is what I want to instill in my students!Reviews
