Welcome to an inclusive, loving, and FUN circle time class! This class is perfect for any learner who is ready to build foundational skills, or those who may benefit from a fun way to review and solidify skills they have already gained; great as a supplement or for homeschool families. Many different learning styles and modes will be incorporated in every class meeting. Weekly themes will be utilized to incorporate high-interest learning and keep learners excited for each and every week! Lessons will include music, movement, fingerplays, chants, rhymes, crafts, sharing, and more! Lessons will be taught using props, posters, visuals, and some (limited) slides so that students will get the most interaction with real-world people and learning possible.

This is a full curriculum class, so a wide variety of subjects and skills will be covered. Learners are welcome to join at any time, and do not have to be enrolled from the beginning of the course to join. We will begin each class with a greeting, then dive into our learning activities. Each child will be welcomed to participate in many ways throughout the meeting. While there is a set schedule/sequence for the class, I will be responsive to each learner and class's needs, and make adjustments as needed - whether that may mean providing some extra challenges or providing more remediation of skills and concepts.

 Some of the skills we will target include:
-Letter names, sounds, and formation
-Foundational reading skills
-Sight words (as ready)
-Comprehension
-Sequencing
-Early writing skills
-Numbers
-Patterns
-Sorting
-Colors
-Shapes
-Science topics (weather, seasons, sun/earth/moon, living and nonliving things)
-Fine motor

-Social skills 
-Oral communication
