May 26: Last week of classes! 

Any student is welcomed to enroll whether taking this as additional support with school topics or homeschooling students who need a full year of math classes.  

The weekly schedule will include the following:
Monday: Live lesson with teacher. Homework is assigned and is due by Wednesday.
Tuesday: Live lesson with teacher. Homework assigned and is due by Thursday so that I can work with anyone who needs extra help.

Daily Schedule:
Ice Breaker: Two Truths, One Lie while students join. 
Entry Ticket: Students will work on prior learned concepts.
Lesson: Students will participate in the interactive math lesson. *PLEASE make sure all cameras are ON for lesson as this enhances it. 
Q&A: Students will be able to ask questions about the lesson.
Homework: Students will be given a homework assignment to practice the new skill. 


**Please note that lessons can change, be moved around, and made to fit the learners. I do NOT over test, overload with homework. I do not do typical report cards, etc. I do keep in close communication with families. I do lots of verbal checking in classes, quick checks, and problem solving to make sure the concepts are locked in. This is not a typical brick and mortar class:). We also try to play a game that reinforces these skills. I usually run over during these classes. We play Gimkit and Kahoot. Please be advised. :)
*Please note that I do NOT offer make-up schedules if your child misses a class nor do I refund for those missed classes; instead, I ask that they watch the video recording. If your child then does not understand the class recording, please reach out. Otherwise, the playback video is what you will need to watch if you are out of class for the day or week. :)


Please note that topics may change depending on learners and how they are doing. IF the learners in the class all need more time on a topic, I will happily give them more attention in this area. Also, please remember that we all have illnesses and unexpected things that arise. I will offer a make-up class for any sick days that are missed by myself. Since there will be a make-up day for any missed classes, refunds will not be given if you cannot make the make-up classes; instead, you can watch the video and complete the worksheets.  

Thank you!
