イネス先生と学ぶ小さな子どもたちのためのグループタイム（2週間のクラス）

Hello Lil Learners & families!

This class is 2 weeks of Group Time for Lil Learners. There are some months that have holiday breaks that make it difficult to do 4 week classes. Also our summer months make necessary to have the 2 week classes. However I thought it would fun to add a 2 week class every month. We’ll spend a couple of weeks diving into group time. Down below is more of an outline of what to expect. 

Group Time will consist of daily songs & a story time! It's a very social gathering.  We will work on learning the days of the week on my calendar. Also counting up to 30 & phonemic sounds! We will isolate sounds & beginning some reading skills. I have a monthly outline with fun topics to work with. Expect each month to have an Author of the Month, a Science component, Botany & Zoology as well. Plus I’ll have ideas for easy art projects too! 

I use my Montessori background to make this special group time fun & engaging! 

Monday Classes will have Calendar, Songs, author of month books.

Tuesday Classes will have Calendar, Songs, & Stories focused on Botany/Zoology.

Wednesday Classes will have Calendar, Songs, Stories plus lessons on Geography. 

Thursday Classes will have Calendar, songs, story time & lessons on Math / Phonetics!
