This class is part of the Outschool Pods program and is intended to build learner community while covering a full-semester's curriculum. We will share additional links for future months upon enrollment. To learn more about Outschool Pods, please visit: www.info.outschool.com/outschool-pods 

In this full year class, students will receive all the necessary tools to be successful in third grade. This class will cover everything third grade, such as, Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies. My goal is to ensure that learning is fun and successful to every learner enrolled. We will have learning their music, dancing, and chanting. 

The cost of the class is for a full year 3rd grade learning experience. Students will have access to Zearn and Lalilo as learning interventions. Zearn Math is a complete math program that provides Common Core aligned math lessons, personalized to individual learners, and based on Eureka Math. Lessons focus on three critical components: deep understanding, fluency, and problem-solving. Lalilo focuses on essential literacy skills like reading, words families, and letter sounds recognition. Lalilo is web-based and easy to set up, and can be accessed through most devices. Teachers can assign specific lessons based on students needs. Once students get going, Lalilo offers consistent feedback and reinforcement to help them work away at their own pace.

All class materials will be provided to students through the Outschool platform.
