Preescolar, prejardín de infantes y jardín de infantes: plan de estudios completo, semestre de primavera

Welcome to an inclusive, loving, and FUN circle time class! This class is perfect for any learner who is ready to build foundational skills, or those who may benefit from a fun way to review and solidify skills they have already gained; great as a supplement or for homeschool families. Many different learning styles and modes will be incorporated in every class meeting. Weekly themes will be utilized to incorporate high-interest learning and keep learners excited for each and every week! Lessons will include music, movement, fingerplays, chants, rhymes, crafts, sharing, and more! Lessons will be taught using props, posters, visuals, and some (limited) slides so that students will get the most interaction with real-world people and learning possible. Videos will be posted each week, one each day Monday-Thursday. You will be able to access, watch, and learn along with these videos on your own schedule, making this a comprehensive, flexible option for even the busiest families!

This is a full curriculum class, so a wide variety of subjects and skills will be covered. Learners are welcome to join at any time, and do not have to be enrolled from the beginning of the course to join. Each video will begin with a greeting, then lead into our content and learning activities. Each child will be welcomed to participate and you may pause the video to have your child respond or call out if they'd like. Practice pages and extension ideas will be offered each week that correspond with that week's theme and learning, and I will provide feedback for any and all student work that is posted to the classroom page.
