Students will be able to: ‣ Engage in productive conversations with classmates using the strategies of Accountable Talk. ‣ Expand vocabulary through learning and applying two+ new vocabulary words to their speech each week. ‣ Apply various reading skills and strategies in order to demonstrate comprehension. ‣ Generate and share ideas inspired by a text through shared writing activities. ‣ Make text to self, text to text, and text to world connections.
‣ I have 5 years experience teaching Kindergarten at a charter school. ‣ I have Bachelor's of Arts degrees in English Writing and Communications from the University of Pittsburgh.
Students should print the weekly worksheets provided in the classroom announcements 24 hours (or more) before each lesson. Students should also come to class with a pencil and crayons (markers and colored pencils are optional). Optional: students can have a toy microphone to demonstrate it is their turn to speak.
No parental guidance is required, however students should come to class knowing how to use the features of the Zoom platform including annotation and chat (these will be reviewed, but initial parent support is essential to ensure students can navigate the classroom).
