Welcome to Unicorns and Rainbows Kinder Prep Time! A class that's perfect for learners going into kindergarten or first grade.

We’re going to have so much fun learning the skills we need for school with Princess Rainbow the Unicorn! 

During this 18-week FLEX course, let’s get ready for kindergarten or first grade by learning and reviewing the letters of the alphabet, learning phonemic awareness and beginning phonics, and learning numbers, basic math skills, shapes and more. We’ll practice writing our names, learn about classroom routines, read stories and rhymes, make comparisons, practice counting, learn about different kinds of animals, and explore our world together. 

This class is also great for learners who are already in kindergarten or first grade and need some extra review. 

Since this is a FLEX course, there will be no live meetings. 

Every other week, videos and Nearpod lessons will be posted in the classroom. Students can watch the videos and do hands-on activities along with the videos. For the Nearpod lessons, students will be able to access them using a link that I will send you. You will need to put in your child's name in order to complete the Nearpod lesson. 

During the weeks in between lessons, I will post review and a discussion board for students to review what they've been learning and discuss their ideas. 

In addition to teaching time and Nearpod student-paced lessons, we’ll also do hands-on activities together that incorporate all of the different subjects your child will be learning about in school, including literacy, math, science, social studies, life skills, and the arts. 

My teaching style is fun and active. I use colorful slides during class that capture students’ attention. I also use a variety of puppets and stuffed animals for dramatic play in the classroom. 

*Note: In this class, we will be doing a variety of learning activities for ages 4-7. Some activities may be above your learner's level, and that's okay! You are always welcome to skip over activities that don't meet your learner's needs or modify them for your learner if you'd like. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or need further help for your learner.
