歡迎來到幼兒園！

Welcome families! This is an ongoing class in which students will gain knowledge in all age appropriate areas. I am a strong believer that every student matters. Along with the core curriculum, students will be able to form relationships all while working on their communication skills. I think it is important for students to know just how special and amazing they are which is why conversation and expression is encouraged. This will lead to foundation for a great year and a strong sense of self love. We will also be exploring many STEM activities and lessons! This is the same curriculum I use at home with my own children (ages 4&5).

In every meeting time we will start off with a welcome to everyone, and anything they want to share with their classmates and myself (5-6 minutes). The day of the week and month of the year will be reviewed at every meeting time. After that we will dive into our activities. Each week will have a different theme/focus area and activities will be based off of that. Any items that need to be printed will be posted the week before in the classroom. A monthly calendar will also be sent out at the time of enrollment so that you can see the plan for the upcoming month. I would love to have your little one join me in learning site words, CVC words, early math, history, social skills, science, reading, and so much more. This class will be a mixture of PowerPoints, stories, movements, and a lot of hands on activities! The social aspect of kindergarten is so important, and students will be gaining a lot of it in this course. 

Along with the weekly themes, each week there will be a weekly focus. As this is an ongoing class, you may enroll and un-enroll at any point. The class does not build upon each other, and content will be reviewed through out the year.
