3年生のフルカリキュラム: 読書とライティング (週2回)

This class will cover a full year of third-grade reading, and writing, curriculum based on common core standards. Learners are welcome to join the class at any time. Although some class content will build from the previous week, it will not prevent the new learner from understanding the concept we are covering during the current week. For example, some weeks, learners may choose to continue a writing piece they started in a previous class, or we may continue reading a book we started in a class prior. In both these circumstances, new learners will be given all the information they need to be successful in class. 

 I am an experienced teacher with nine years of teaching experience. Over the past six years, I have taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade at my local public school, teaching all subject areas(reading, writing, math, phonics, science, and social studies). I am excited to learn with your learner this school year!

I believe in meeting learners at their current academic level and providing an encouraging learning environment to facilitate meaningful learning. Learners should come to class with paper and pencil or whiteboard. I encourage discussions and lots of interaction but also understand some learners prefer to refrain from participating and enjoy listening to class discussions. 

 

**This is an ongoing class, so join anytime, as new concepts will not depend on previous classes. Although some weeks' content will build from the previous week, it will not prevent the new learner from understanding the concept we are coving during the current week.**

⭐⭐⭐From June 2nd through August 18th, 2024, the 10am EST class will practice math, reading, and writing strategies to prepare for fourth grade. This will prepare learners for more complex 4th grade concepts. I will include introductions to 4th grade topics. ⭐⭐⭐



⭐⭐⭐Through mini-lessons, Reading topics will include comprehension, accuracy, and fluency strategies. All lessons will be taught through reading a book together. The teacher will provide the book needed at least 2 weeks ahead of time. ⭐⭐⭐
