🌞 Hello and welcome!
🎓 As an experienced kindergarten teacher, I know just how to engage your young learner - with magic,💥of course! This fun and skill-building class will feature new concepts each day. The small class size ensures that each child has several opportunities to share and respond during each meeting. This class is also excellent for ESL students. At the beginning of each class students have an opportunity to share a toy, pet, drawing or story. I encourage interaction with me and their classroom friends!
🪁 So much more than just the memorization of information, The Magic Closet seeks to create an environment where children love to learn. Every skill is introduced in a way that scaffolds learning while having fun. Students practice using their imaginations as well as their eyes and ears to learn sounds and expand vocabulary. So much learning happens while students are moving and giggling!
👑 As we delve into "The Magic Closet" we will find an alphabet letter, color and shape of the day, sing a happy song or read-aloud story, practice numbers and math, and even discover a "mystery object" to engage our thinking skills. Sometimes we'll have special guests (puppets) and furry friends in class. We'll learn the phonetic sound of our letter as a building block to beginning reading, count items as a tactile application of our daily number, and often introduce STEM concepts through our "mystery" items (magnifying glass, plant, ramps, bubbles etc.). If the letter of the day is a vowel, we will learn both the long and short sounds of that letter. 
We will draw our shape and letter of the day and make an animal drawing using this shape and our daily color. Our read-aloud stories will be an opportunity to make predictions, answer comprehension questions and consider the sequence of events 📚
