What This Class Is:
-------------------------
In this ongoing kindergarten class learners will practice math skills week. Young learners shouldn’t be expected to sit longer than 20 minutes at a time, so this is a very appropriate time limit for focusing on math each day! Pre-K Math will rely on repetition each day in order for your child to practice math skills needed for kindergarten and beyond. Each week we will work on a special math skill.

Schedule:
-------------------------
Weeks start over again, occasionally I might add something new in!

What We Will Do Everyday
--------------------------------
Counting: We will be counting every day! We count different things based on what we are learning as well as the reward system I use. 

Identifying numbers: We will be identifying numbers as we count and when we talk about what day it is. We will also write the number of the day.

Colors, 3D shapes, and patterns: I will use pattern number cards that will change monthly. 

Days of the week and months of the year will be identified.

Watch a fun learning video on Youtube for a little movement and music time.

At the end of class students may share one thing with the class.


How I Run The Class
-------------------------
A positive reward system will be used for behavior and participation. I will be giving the students objects during the class and we will always count them at the end. This is a good way for students to count one to one as well as practice counting objects.

*** Students' mics will be muted if needed. Since this is an advanced class I expect a little more out of the students. I call students by name to take a turn. I will mute if a student is talking about other things during math time, if there is a lot of background noise, or if I want to give the other students a chance to answer a question or participate. I try to keep talking at a minimum unless it is productive. You may hear me say sharing time is at the end of class. Occasionally I will stay extra in case anyone wants to share something that is not math-related.

Prerequisites:
---------------------
You can join this class at any time. The classes don't build on each other. There is a class before this called Pre-K Math, however, you do not need to take it in order to enroll in this one. You know your child best! 


Important Information:
------------------------
If there is a holiday or I have to cancel for any reason make-up days will be held on Fridays during your regular time. Sometimes life happens, so I will let you know as soon as possible!

Come join me in the classroom. Let's have fun this school year while learning math skills! Hope to see you soon.
