This class offers a full year of 1st-grade math (covered in one semester), allowing each child to learn hands-on. Each topic that will be covered is listed below and broken down by months. All learners will engage in fun, active learning while communicating and having a great time. As a teacher, it is my goal to encourage each learner to be their best self. I will ask open-ended questions and also find out how each learner learns best. My teaching style follows a Montessori approach, and I will use this method to engage each child and make a positive impact.
