恐竜算数キャンプ: 幼稚園準備 (認定算数教師)

This dinosaur-themed camp is 4 days long and will explore fundamental math concepts that will help your child prepare for Kindergarten. This camp is ideal for students who are preparing for Kindergarten or for students going into First grade who want review and extra practice. I am a certified math teacher with over 8 years of experience and love to make learning fun! Students will be provided with dinosaur-themed activities which will allow them to explore the concepts in a fun, engaging way. There will be many opportunities for students to participate and share their ideas. This camp is full of content and encourages learning through group activities and games. On the last day of camp, we will have time for show and tell. Students will be encouraged to bring their favorite toy dinosaur to share with their friends at the end of class.

Students are asked to bring some basic supplies with them to each class including any printable pages I provide, blank paper, pencil, and crayons. They will also need to bring a collection of 20 small items that they can use as counters to help with one-to-one correspondence, addition, and subtraction. This may include things like small toys, paper clips, Cheerios, etc. If any other items are required I will give notice. Please check the classroom for updates before class begins. If you do not have access to a printer, that is okay. I will make accommodations for the activity and ask students to record answers on a blank sheet of paper or whiteboard instead. I hope to see you in my classroom soon!
