ENROLL AT ANY TIME!
***This class is not cumulative, so feel free to drop in and/or out at any point in time.***

In this ongoing class, pre-k/preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade students will learn what it means to add and subtract all while using the gaming resource, NearPod. 

This class is for preschool math learners, kindergarten math learners, and 1st grade math learners to practice addition and subtraction. Once this skill is mastered, go ahead and enroll into 1st grade math with Shields Scholars (even if you're not in 1st grade yet ;)).  

**NearPod is necessary for your learner to participate in this course!**
If you are new to using NearPod, please see the "Materials" section below for specifics on what this is and how to use it.

As this is an ongoing class, we will mix it up every week to contain a total of 20 weeks worth of different lessons and content for your learner to practice, so feel free to drop in and out as you need since these lessons are not cumulative and do not build on each other.

Each lesson will begin with a counting warm-up by practicing counting in some form: By 1s, by 2s, by 5s, and by 10s
Then we will work on tracing numbers 0-20 and how to write them correctly. We briefly go over the concept of a "double digit".
Students will then work on reading math equations in a linear fashion (from left to right) and recognizing (+) signs, (-) signs, and equal (=) signs.
Students get to use visuals and interactive features on NearPod, but we also work on using their fingers to count up and down depending on what the equation says. Students also learn how to use a number line and to "jump" up or down depending on the equation. 

Practice worksheets will be provided as PDF attachments based on the lesson and what we worked on together that day. You can print these out before or after class, but know that they are not necessary to bring to class as your learner will be working diligently on NearPod.

POLICIES

REFUNDS:
All Ongoing classes have a standard refund policy: "Cancel subscription at any point, no refund for past subscriptions. Payments can be refunded within 24 hours of purchase."

Refunds will not be issued for any case of a student no-show in which the student misses class. Our schedule holds a dedicated spot for your child each week. In the event that your child misses class, your payment is a reservation of that time that cannot otherwise be utilized by, scheduled for, or transferred to another student. Additionally; no refunds or makeup classes will be issued for class time lost due to students/parents being unprepared for class. Please read the full class description before enrolling to ensure you can be fully prepared come class start time. Upon enrollment, please be sure to turn on email notifications for messages and classroom post updates sent by your learner's teacher.

TRANSFERS:
Transfer requests will be accepted if the request is sent no less than 24 hours prior to the class start time and only for ongoing courses. If you have something come up and cannot make your section time, please send me a transfer request as soon as possible for another time during that same week. In the event of a one-time transfer and you would like your child moved back to their original section day/time, you need to send another transfer request or your child will stay in the current section. 

There will be no transfers for student no shows under any circumstances.

ABSENCES & STUDENT NO-SHOWS:
A student no-show is defined as a student absence with no prior arrangements made with the teacher.
There will be no refunds or transfers for student no-shows under any circumstances. 

In cases of no-shows for private classes or classes that happen to only have one learner, it is Outschool's policy that the class is automatically cancelled if no student shows up after 10 minutes have elapsed and you forfeit your payment for that class. If you have a private class, ALWAYS reach out before class starts if there is a reason you cannot make it.

Absentees are entitled to the class recorded as well as a student-paced NearPod lesson that parents can navigate with their student while watching the recording. Student-paced lessons are usually not put out publicly, so please message your teacher for access!

MAKEUP CLASSES:
Makeup classes are not offered at this time for group classes. Please message your teacher if you require a makeup time for a private class. We will reschedule a maximum of 3 times. All makeup requests need to be scheduled within 24 hours of the original class cancelation and cancelations need to be communicated no less than 24 hours before the originally scheduled lesson. 

OUTSCHOOL POLICIES:
Only the enrolled student is admitted into the classroom and allowed to be on screen and participating in the class. Students may share a screen if and only if they are both enrolled into the class and in that same section. Friends, cousins, parents, siblings, etc. are not permitted to be on screen at all.

When entering your Zoom meeting, please make sure that your screen name matches your learner's name on the roster OR the enrolling parent's name on their profile. Any other names will not be admitted into the classroom due to safety and privacy concerns. If we as teachers cannot verify who is entering, it is against Outschool's policy to admit them.

Every student must turn on their video for teachers to verify that there is, in fact, a child in the classroom due to privacy and safety concerns. If you prefer your child not be on camera, you need to contact Outschool prior to the class to be "verified" beforehand. Refusing to turn on your camera for teachers to verify a child will result in removal from the Zoom meeting immediately.

Only one Zoom account will be admitted into the classroom per student. All Zoom meetings are recorded. Parents and/or guardians are not authorized to watch the class from a second device, but all class recordings are available in the classroom page for your viewing after the class has concluded. Some recordings may be deleted if something inappropriate happens during the lesson i.e. nudity or offensive behavior.

Thank you for your understanding!
