My circle time class will provide a fun and educational start to your child’s day! Each weekday we will meet for 25 minutes. Those 25 minutes will be engaging, exciting, full of learning, and most importantly FUN! 

Each child has a different learning style and in my classroom, I will implement different learning methods and provide a learning environment that will allow for each child’s unique style. For the auditory learners, we will be singing songs and using repetition. For the visual learners, we will be reading colorful books and I have made several colorful, interactive slideshows with funny and memorable pictures and text. For the kinesthetic learners and my FAVORITE part of the class, we will be using our bodies to make letters, drawing in the air and on our bodies with our fingers to make letters and numbers, and adding physical movements to songs to keep young learners engaged. 


Class Structure 

🕰️ 0-5 minutes-Welcome song and open input from learners on anything they would like to share. This helps learners feel welcome and ready to participate in class. If your learner is reluctant at first, that is 100% ok. Let the learner observe for the first few classes and from my experience, that child will be sharing before the week is over! 

🕰️ 5-10 minutes- Calendar work (day of the week, month of the year, etc.), weather, and alphabet song

🕰️ 10-20 minutes-Story-time and weekly topic will be introduced on Mondays. We will then discuss that topic each day as content builds.   Learners are encouraged to think about the topic outside of class and come to class the next day with any questions on the topic. This creates inquisitive learners, which is a wonderful trait to have! 

🕰️ 20-25 minutes-Goodbye song, vocabulary word of the day, and ending class discussion 



🔤 Each week students will focus on a letter, number, and different animals.

****The entire schedule will be released upon sign up. Parents will receive a weekly lesson report on what we went over and ideas for practice at home. Parents are more than welcome to send a message requesting additional topics to be covered. As long as the request is sent ahead of time, I will put the idea into action!
