4 年生向けフルカリキュラム: 読書、作文、数学の学習ポッド (週 4 回)

This class will cover a full year of fourth-grade reading, writing, and math 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. 

Each subject taught (reading, writing, math) will include a mini-lesson, group practice, and independent practice. The mini-lesson will include the new teaching point, which the teacher will demonstrate using interactive slides and/or Jamboard.  Math instruction will consist of a worksheet provided by the teacher each week. If you wish to print the worksheet, you may do so, or learners can follow along using a whiteboard or piece of paper while I share my screen during the lesson. 

**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.**
