¡Dé un salto al primer grado! Revisión de jardín de infantes, ¡preparación de primer grado para el verano!

Hello Wonderful Parents!

My Kindergarten Curriculum Class was such a hit, I had many parents request a continuation of the class to keep little learners active with their learning before they start first grade!

If you took my kindergarten class, or if you are going to be starting first grade, this class is for you! 
We will learn sights words, and word families, and other beginning reading skills. We will work on our reading comprehension, and understanding the parts of a story and story elements. We will learn and master a variety of math skills, including but not limited to number identification, number sense, place value, addition, subtraction, shapes, patterns, and more. Students will also learn to write and share information in a variety of ways, including drawing, writing letters and words, listening to others, and speaking aloud. 

Activities and skills we will work on include and are not limited to: 
• Naming and writing upper and lowercase letters 
• Matching letters to sounds and using other methods to figure out unfamiliar words when reading and writing 
• Learning and using new words 
• Identifying words that rhyme 
• Reading sight words such as the, of, you, are, she, and my and more
• We will be learning to read CVC words, blends, digraphs, rhyming words, segmenting, blending, and identifying syllables in words.
• We will be learning different vowels rules to read CVCE and CVVC words. 
• Reading Comprehension 
• Identifying characters, settings, and major events in a story 
• Recognizing the person, place, thing, or idea that an illustration shows 
• Participating in discussions by listening and taking turns speaking
• Counting and identifying numbers 
• Number sense/place value
• 2/D and 3/D Shapes 
• Patterns
• Greater than and less than 
• Ordinal Numbers 
• Addition and Subtraction 
• Using a combination of drawing, speaking, and writing to describe an event, give information about a topic, or share an opinion 

This class has a lot of information to be learned. I do ask that you teach your child how to mute and unmute. I do sometimes need to mute, while I am teaching a concept. A simple background noise like a dog barking or someone on the phone, or even an echo depending on their location, or students making sounds, can disrupt the learning and flow of the class. I do love to engage with the students, and I ask that they know how to unmute themselves when called on. If your child is in a quiet environment, muting is not necessary, as long as they are respectful ( ie: not making noises, talking, singing during instruction.) I appreciate your understanding in this! It really does make the world of a difference. I want everyone to get what they deserve out of the class, with minimal distractions. 


Please be sure to bring a white board, dry erase marker, and eraser or a piece of paper and pencil.
