Learning doesn't have to be difficult or boring! Come to my class and let me help your young learner review all common core standards for first grade in EVERY lesson! Students will need to be able to read simple CVC words and know all of their letter sounds to be successful in this course. This a class that is structured to give your young learner repeated opportunities to practice  1st-grade common core math standards to help them keep their skills fresh and build automaticity.  This class is excellent for 5-7  year-old learners. As a student, I struggled with academics because I desperately needed a teacher that could make the content simple and easy to understand! Let me be that teacher for your child :)I will be using a slideshow, videos, games, and activities to help hone in on each objective. Students will learn a concept and then practice with me until everyone understands and can move on to the next Common Core concept.
