In this one-time class, we will read and discuss Valentine's Day themed stories like "Pete the Cat: Valentine's Day is Cool" by James Dean and "One Zillion Valentines" by Frank Modell. Little learners can build great listening, observation and creative thinking skills during storytime, asking questions and using their imagination. In fact, did you know that reading aloud to kids has clear cognitive benefits? For example, brain scans show that hearing stories strengthens the part of the brain associated with visual imagery, story comprehension, and word meaning. One 2019 study from the National Library of Medicine estimated that children who are regularly read to in the 5 years leading up to kindergarten are exposed to 1.4 million more words than children who aren’t read to during those years. We will meet and greet the first few minutes of class so everyone gets comfortable, talk a bit about the holiday and our stories and use our listening and observation skills as we read our stories together. In between our stories we will talk about symbols we see when it is Valentine's Day, explore our heart and how it beats, play letter and number games inspired by Valentine's Day images, and color Valentine's Day pictures that are provided for registered learners. Coloring pictures are provided for learners who like to keep their hands busy while we read our stories...they are not required to be a part of the class. You can choose different hearts to color and create valentines with after class or you can chose Valentine's Day themed coloring pages! If you do not have access to a printer and your learner likes to color, please draw different size hearts on paper and bring that to class along with their favorite coloring tools so they can color with their classmates! Learners who are excited to share their observations and creations are encouraged to do so, but it is not required.
学習到達目標
Students will strengthen literacy and listening skills, prediction, problem solving and observation skills and will practice fine motor work, counting and using their imaginations as they listen to and discuss our stories and work on creating their own valentines with the pictures that are provided for enrolled learners.

Because of the age of the class I recommend a grown up be within "ear-shot" to help with any technical hiccups (mic and video) that might come up. Please print out a few of the valentine themed pictures and bring crayons to class so we can color together as we read our stories. You can choose different hearts to color and create valentines with after class or you can chose Valentine's Day coloring pages! No printer? That's OK! If your learner wants to color, please pre draw different size heart shapes on a couple of pieces of paper and bring those to class for your learner to color. It's not mandatory that your learner participate in the coloring activities. If they prefer to observe and complete the projects after class, that's OK too!
Please note! Background noise is clearly audible to the whole class -- even if your learner is wearing headphones. Please make sure phone calls and conversations take place in a room other than where your learner is on the computer... Outschool classes are recorded!
**In order to promote class discussions and participation I do not mute learners' microphones. This also helps learners practice their social skills such as active listening and taking turns. In order for this to work, students need to be in a quiet setting away from background noises (loud conversations, telephone calls, t.v, etc.). **

Hello Outschool Families!
My name is Liz Stone, better known as Ms. Liz, to my 3, 4 and 5 year old friends. Did you know that reading aloud to kids has clear cognitive benefits? For example, brain scans show that hearing stories strengthens the part of the brain associated with visual imagery, story comprehension, and word meaning.
Experts from the National Center on Early Childhood Development, Teaching and Learning also explain that reading books to kids helps expand the number and variety of words they use. Think about it: The books you read often contain words you might not otherwise use in your everyday communications.
While reading a book, you might end up using more specific names for different plants or animals or use more adjectives altogether. And this adds up.
One 2019 study from the National Library of Medicine estimated that children who are regularly read to in the 5 years leading up to kindergarten are exposed to 1.4 million more words than children who aren’t read to during those years.
Another study found that kindergarten children who were read to at least three times a week had a “significantly greater phonemic awareness than did children who were read to less often.”
I created The Pebble Academy, an online learning and play experience for 3-5 year olds, after I fell in love with teaching and learning with Pre-K kiddos as I watched my own kids grow-up. I'm the mom of three and an early childhood educator who wants to help make reading togther and creative learning for 3-5 year olds more accessible! I've observed the confidence my students gain when I encourage them to participate in an online learning and play experience that is welcoming, comfortable and tailored to them.
In my 30-40 minute interactive classes, I will introduce your children to new ideas with activities like picture book reading, songs, show and share and themed activity pages and projects we work on together. Most of my classes include in class activities or ideas for post class at home activities and all my classes incorporate ideas that promote pre-reading skills, early math strategies, nature, community, family, arts and crafts, music and physical activity.
Over the past 12 years, I have worked as a teacher and Site Coordinator for Northwestern University’s Weekend Enrichment Program, I’ve taught in my community's Early Childhood Program, I’ve been a lead teacher for 3 year olds at a local early childhood center and I created The Pebble Academy!
Incorporating fun into reading and learning is what it's all about! For me, nothing compares to sharing an “Aha!” moment with a student. I hope we have the chance to learn together soon and I look forward to meeting you in one of my classes!
**If my posted class schedules don't work for you, I'm happy to try and schedule a class that is more convenient for your learner!
