This is an Ongoing Year-Long 2nd Grade Math Curriculum Class, so your child is able to enroll and unenroll at any point throughout the year.  Each lesson in this ongoing class will stand on its own, but students who continue with the class will gain a full year of second grade standard based skills.  Each week we will have a new topic (see schedule below), so the classes will not build off of each other.  At the beginning of class we will review skills, so that each child can be successful. I have taught for five years as a 1st grade teacher and two years as a 5th grade teacher both in the public school setting, and I am currently a licensed teacher.  This curriculum I am teaching on Outschool is inspired by the math schedule, practices, routines, and games that helped my students exceed their math goals in the classroom.  Each lesson in this ongoing class will stand on its own, but students who continue with the class will gain a full year of first grade standard based skills.  Kids need to be engaged in order to learn, and that is why I am not only teaching a lesson during our time together, but we will also play math review games at the end of each lesson.  During our lessons together, I will be presenting a Google Slide Presentation where we will go over the topics of the day through various activities.  

Our class layout looks like this:
1. Check-In and Question of the Day (chat time) - 5 minutes
2. Math Warm Up - 5 minutes
3. Math Lesson and Activities - 20 minutes
4. Math Review Game - 10 minutes

 Your child will need a whiteboard and marker (or pencil and paper) for each class.  Different classes may need other items, as well, so make sure to check the Classroom Tab on Outschool, where I will tell you what items are needed, to make sure your child comes to class prepared!  Other items may include dice, a deck of cards, counters, or printables posted in the Outschool Classroom.  Here is an overview of what the year will look like:

➡️ I prefer to keep learners unmuted, however there may be times where I need to mute students due to background noise or other factors.  On occasion I may mute the whole class so that everyone has a chance to hear the game directions or the person speaking.  
➡️ Just a reminder that per Outschool policy only the registered learner can be on the camera, which means no adults or siblings can be on the screen.  Thank you!
➡️ The schedule for each week is listed above, but I will also post in the Outschool classroom each week letting families and learners know if there are supplies needed for the week.
