Conceptos básicos de preescolar: aprenda matemáticas, ciencias y más (versión condensada)

If you are interested in my other preschool ongoing class that meets twice a week and can't join due to no spaces or not being able to attend twice a week, then this condensed version is for you! We will be doing many of the same activities, just in one day instead of two! We will still cover the same subject areas but with a shorter time spent on each subject area. Instead of subjects being split into two days, it will be combined into one day. Every week, we will do math, movement, art, prewriting/prereading, and science activities that are centered on the week's theme. We will also discuss that week's theme and learn the number and letter of the week. Every activity will be related to the week's theme. For example, for the theme of colors, we will be making patterns out of colors for our math activity, do a color mixing art activity, and create a walking rainbow for science. 
   I encourage lots of social interactions throughout the activities, especially having learners talk through what they are learning about with other learners. This is a great class to learn social skills as we will be practicing raising hands in class, waiting our turn to speak, answering questions, and sharing in class. I do not typically have learners muted as I believe they need to learn how to take turns speaking as they will need this skill in other areas of life. The only time I will ask learners to be muted is if there is excessive background noise (such as someone on a phone call that interrupts class). I also encourage a high amount of creativity and independence in activities, especially when it comes to art. I want learners to take what we do and make it their own, rather than just following a set guideline and being bound by those rules. I believe learners will learn more by making it personal. Learners need no prior knowledge other than some understanding of how to use tools such as crayons and markers. We will also be discussing the weather and days of the week in every class.

A note on themes: There are many themes related to different holidays. I appreciate that every family approaches holidays differently. In order to respect everyone's differences, holidays will be taught from a secular view and activities will be not controversial elements of the holiday. (For example, Halloween will be pumpkins, cats, bats (not scary), etc. Christmas will be snowmen, red and green, candy canes, etc.) 

Note for weeks that are off due to holidays: On the weeks that we don't have class due to holidays, do not worry about unsubscribing, you will not be charged for the weeks we don't have class.
