I can't wait to meet your learners in this all-inclusive, highly interactive, hands-on Pre-K, Kindergarten/Preschool class. 

This is a full-year science curriculum for any and all Pre-K to Preschool learners. This is a hands-on interactive class with loads of materials and activities provided during class time and for extra use outside of the classroom. 

Included throughout the year are over 1000 resources and activities for in-class and extended learning.

We will meet once per week. Please check the class times carefully as this class is offered in multiple formats throughout the week. Some are consecutive eg. Monday and Tuesday, while others will have a break between classes eg. Monday and Wednesday. 

When kids are getting ready for kindergarten, many families wonder about their academic skills. But self-care and social and emotional skills are important for kindergarten readiness, too. Not only will we cover the fundamental academic skills needed for your learner, but we will also cover the social and emotional skills too.

In each of these lessons the students will partake in a quick lesson opener, skill lesson, and each day the students will take part in an experiment or experiment follow-up. Students will also complete a Science journal to track their weekly activities.

Science units: Life Science, Five Senses, Earth Science, Space and Simple Machines, Physical Science.

Social and emotional skills: Interact with other kids, Pay attention for at least five minutes to a task an adult is leading, like listening to directions for an activity or discussing the day’s weather during circle time.

Fine motor skills: Use a pencil or crayon with some control, Use scissors, Copy basic shapes, Make distinct marks that look like letters and write some actual letters, especially the ones in their name, Put together a simple puzzle.

Gross motor skills: Run, Jump with feet together, Hop on one foot, Climb stairs, Bounce a ball and try to catch it.

This is a year long class that you can join at any time. These classes are designed to be taken in any order so you can come and go as you need however learners will benefit from an extended stay.

Important class information 
- This is an ongoing subscription class. Outschool automatically renews all subscriptions on Sundays. This means you can come and go with your schedule.
- Printable resources for the week are provided Sunday before class. If you are unable to print the resources not a problem, your learner can use any paper, chalkboard or whiteboards they are comfortable with.
- Extended learning printables will be available on a Friday so they are not confused with what is needed Monday-Thursday.
- If the classroom gets loud I may need to mute all students so we can hear each other. Please make sure your learner knows how to unmute themselves or be there to help. As the teacher in Zoom I can only "ask to unmute" and cannot unmute learners on my end.
- We will be practising taking turns so I ask learners to put their hands up or use the signal cards (available in the welcome message and weekly package)
