▪️This class is 35 minutes in length and meets 4 times (Monday - Thursday) a week.  There will be no class on Fridays therefore allowing friends an opportunity to REBOOT and be ready the upcoming learning adventure.  

🌟This class is an advance level 1st grade/2nd  curriculum course therefore all students should have a solid background in the following:   all their letters (uppercase and lowercase)/sounds, sight word knowledge, reading (fluent with diagraph, blends, etc.)  and numbers 1-100.  

  -CLASS SUMMARY-

▪️This course will begin with a meet/greet of all students.  All students are important to me and I strive daily to create a warm, caring and safe learning environment for them to flourish.   The morning message will then be read/followed to further immerse students into the world of literacy and serve as the roadmap for the day. 


▪️ALL 1st Grade and 2nd Grade standards and beyond are intentionally woven into the curriculum to help prepare students to be academically successful in kindergarten.   The infusion of singing/movement, finger play, social interaction, and games will be the surprise.  Shhhh!!!

-Important Course Information-

▪️This class is an ongoing class with a weekly subscription that automatically renews on Sunday.  The beautiful thing about ongoing is that you can unsubscribe  at your convenience anytime prior to the  start of the desired week to be missed.  
▪️Students will have an opportunity to share each class and let their beautiful light shine. 
▪️Important social skills such as taking turns, listening to their classmates and patience will be strengthened along the way. 
▪️Weekly agendas and homework packets to match the agenda will be provided to further extend learning beyond the classroom.   
▪️Class expectations are always stated in the beginning of class to help create and maintain a respectful classroom.
▪️Muting happens as a whole group/individually to help regulate background noise.  This helps to ensure that all my friends can hear and receive all of the daily agenda.  
▪️I’m a strong believer in the concept that teamwork makes the dreamwork.  Parents please be in ready mode to help your child during class. 

We will have a fun and productive learning experience.  Are you ready?  Let’s Go!
