📋CLASS SCHEDULE:

🗓CALENDAR TIME- Most classes when there is time
Includes: Months of the year, days of the week, holidays, patterns, you name it! 
🌡WEATHER TIME
We discuss what the weather is like where I live and where they live. We sometimes even dress bear together for the weather!
🔤🔺️🎨🔢LETTER, SHAPE, COLOR AND NUMBER FOCUS- Every week
Each week with have a different letter, shape, color and number focus. We talk about each and sometimes go on a scavenger hunt for the items during calendar time. 

*Each of these areas provides a set routine for the students and once they are in class for a short period, they will begin to get the hang of it! This provides stability and children thrive in routines, just like adults do!

MONDAY-LITERACY ACTIVITY/ STORY RELATED TO THEME- Introduce letter(s), phonics, sight word(s) and read aloud, we read a story related to the theme and then an additional phonics or reading activity. 
TUESDAY- NUMBER- Talk about the number of the week, count and other math concepts such as measurement, graphing, addition, subtraction, comparison, etc. 
WEDNESDAY- SHAPE/CRAFT- Talk about the shape of the week and do a themed craft together
THURSDAY- COLOR/EXPERIMENT- practice fine motor skills while learning math and reading concepts by coloring. Students also watch a themed based experiment students can try with parent help/supervision. 
FRIDAY- SHARE TIME/SNACK TIME -Students can bring an object to share and they will practice speaking and listening skills (OBJECTS RELATED TO THE THEME ARE ENCOURAGED!) We prepare a snack together learning how to follow step by step directions. *Snack ingredients can be adapted to your needs!

MOST DAYS WE ALSO USE A PHONICS BOOK. THIS CONTAINS SIGHT WORDS AND FOCUSES ON THE LETTER OF THE WEEK. WE LEARN HOW TO MAKE PREDICTIONS, READ FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, FIND SIGHT WORDS AND ANSWER COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS. STUDENTS DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO READ!! DIFFERENT LEVELS OF READERS WORKS JUST GREAT AND I ADAPT TO EACH STUDENT'S NEEDS AND LEVEL!

***Each of these activities enhance the children's learning of the letter, number, shape, and color of the week. These activities include art, gross motor, fine motor, music, reading,  and STEM activities.

👩‍🏫EXPERIENCE/PHILOSOPHY 
I have loads of experience teaching this age group! It is my passion and I believe it is crucial that we prepare little ones for an amazing and bright future!!! 
-I have a Bachelors Degree in Music Education and have BOTH music and elementary education certificates!
-I have taught in the classroom and online for many years
-I have had my OWN child care center in my home working with young children 
-I have experience creating a curriculum on my own that fits the needs of this age group
-I have excellent class management skills and pride myself in my ability to provide engaging, creative, fun lessons! 
-I have a special needs child and have found ways to adapt to him and other children's needs. 
-I have taught ESL students online and in the classroom and can continue to help them with their English speaking abilities.
-I pride myself in my ability to reach students individually at their level! Each child needs something different and I don't believe in putting children in a "box."


🎒SUPPLIES:
-Handouts for the week- Please print these and have them ready for class! This includes the weekly book that needs to be cut and stapled. They will be provided on Sunday each week. 

-Have on hand- pencil, paper, scissors, crayons, markers, and glue. 

 ***ADDITIONAL SUPPLIES will also be posted Sunday with the handouts. *The science materials are optional if you'd like to have your child participate along side me and will be indicated as such. Snack supplies and sometimes additional art supplies may be necessary and will be listed when necessary for that particular week.  IF THERE ARE ANY SUPPLIES YOU DON'T HAVE, THERE ARE WAYS TO ADAPT AND MAKE IT WORK. I PROVIDE THIS LIST AS I BELIEVE STUDENTS WILL GET MORE OUT OF THE CLASS IF THEY HAVE THESE SUPPLIES, BUT EITHER WAY, THEY WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME IN CLASS! THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF CUTTING SOMETIMES FOR THE ACTIVITIES. IF YOU WISH TO CUT OUT AHEAD OF TIME FEEL FREE!


👨‍👩‍👧PARENTAL GUIDANCE:
-Please print out handouts ahead of time as well as cut and staple the book together.
-Please assist your child with the mute/unmute button throughout this class.
-I ask that children be on camera throughout the class as possible. 
-Please assist your child with cutting and scissors if necessary during class time. You may want to pre-cut materials as sometimes there is quite a bit of cutting in order to reduce other outside materials needed for activities.
