Hello and thanks for stopping by! Welcome to our Montessori inspired virtual classroom where we learn life skills and age appropriate curriculum together while having fun. The Friendship Haven classroom is positive, welcoming and social. We love coloring and playing games! We enjoy using stories, slideshows, short videos, songs and role-play to enhance learning and comprehension. Most of all, we use hands-on activities! More often than not, we are engaging as a class rather than looking at a presentation or video. Each day of the week is dedicated to a different subject. Learners can join or cancel at any time throughout the course. 

Day ONE: English Language Arts 
Day TWO: Health & Science
Day THREE: : Math
Day FOUR: Life Skills with Show & Tell

Each week we focus on a specific theme. The daily lesson will be related to the weekly theme.

Life Skills: Tying laces, measuring, recycling, respect, manners, mindfulness 

At Friendship Haven, our goal is for your child to gain the skills required for a lifetime of self-guided learning. As they show interest in different things around them, we will guide their curiosity with fun education.  In the virtual classroom we use components of Montessori teaching by finding common household objects to nurture engagement and understanding during class. Our pace and lessons will vary depending on the needs of each student and the class as a whole. Parents, I'd love to work together to make sure your child is accommodated in my classroom if required. Please reach out and we can make a plan together! ESL students are always welcome to join the fun ☺️

During this class students are allowed to freely speak and engage with the teacher and other students. Mute is often optional. 

We look forward to seeing you!
