1 年生のスーパーサイエンス - 学期と夏期 (クリスティ先生と通年)

In this class,  we will dig into the content and instructional practices that students would receive within a brick and mortar classroom for their science block. We cover an entire science curriculum guided by the standards. Our instructional focus will support learners who are working on a first grade level or students needing standards based support for a first grade student. We will work on the skills, content, vocabulary, hands on learning, experiments, and standards students will need to master during their first  grade academic year in science and over the summer. 

Each class will follow a general pattern for instruction. Content and experiments will be able to build upon previous lessons and standards, but each class will have a stand alone focus.  I love to utilize open conversation and responses during class and students are welcome to stay off of mute (as long as there isn't an excess amount of noise disturbance). I strive to use mute only to help with background noise. Classroom management techniques are used to keep class engaging, respectful, and a kind -uplifting place. 

Class Flow:
-Welcome (meet and greet with the teacher)
- Introduction to content, vocabulary, and skill of that day with the visual support of google slides.
- Class content learning, physical movements for memory reinforcement, and discussions with the visual support of google slides.
-Application of content on a foldable, journal entry, notes page, experiment, or hands on learning craft/ activity with the visual support of google slides and step by step instructions. 
-Summary and goodbye (with the teacher and class). 

Students are able to come an go within the course all year as long as their is an opening for enrollment. Resources for the week will be sent out  in advanced if there is a printing need for resources (worksheets, foldables, vocabulary cards)
