US Grade Preschool – Kindergarten
This class is taught by a degreed teacher with over 20 years of experience in public, private and homeschool settings. In this class, we cover one letter and theme each day. You can join any time!

*This is the same curriculum that I used in-person for public and private schools teaching Pre-K and Kindergarten.

DESCRIPTION:
In this class, your child will get a Circle Time experience including Calendar Time & Weather. In addition, we cover a complete Preschool/Pre-K curriculum with lots of the concepts pulled from Pre-K & Kindergarten standards, so this class is appropriate for K5 students as well.

You will receive a Weekly Lesson plan every Sunday. It will tell you everything we are learning throughout the week, so you can follow along or reinforce the lesson. No supplies are required, it is recommended that you provide items on the supply list so your child can make the Art project. The items are usually common household items that you most likely will already have.

This is an Ongoing class, so feel free to jump in any time! Each day is independent of the others. We will cover one letter/theme per day for 26 weeks (A to Z) and then begin again with new themes and concepts. By the end of the school year, your child will know all their letters/sounds, numbers, shapes, colors, and be able to read CVC words and some special reading sounds. They will know Math skills from all of the Pre-K standards. They will have experienced many Science skills/experiments throughout the school year.

Here is the schedule:
Greeting Time
Calendar Time (Month/Count the day/Day of the week)
Weather
Letter of the Day and Theme Introduction (letter recognition, phonics sound, how to write the upper/lower case letters)
Decorate the Letter of the Day (idea for you to do at home later)
Language Skills Activity
Math Skill
Music & Movement
Art
Science or Social Studies activity
Story Time

SUMMER Circle Time:
This is an ongoing, year-round class. You can withdraw during the summer months, if you would like. If you choose to continue during the summer months, our format will be slightly different. I will do a theme per week, verses a daily theme.
******For Summer Time, we will meet LIVE for FOUR DAYS with a RECORDED class on Fridays. This allows you one day for catch up or for fieldtrips.******
Themes will include:
Circus
Camping
Pirates/Treasure
Vroom (Transportation)
Ocean
Space
Rainforest
Insects
Dinosaurs
Farm

Please note:
This class is fast paced and high energy. I keep the students engaged, so we can cover a lot of material. The class size is larger and there is not as much time for sharing. However, I greet every child by name during Greeting Time at the beginning of class and when saying, “Goodbye,” at the end. I strive to make sure they each feel a part of the class and feel loved and important. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions at all. 🙂

Christmas may be mentioned in December since it is a holiday on the calendar and we note most holidays during Calendar Time. In addition, some students may talk about Christmas; Christmas trees or other decorations may be present in the background. Please contact the teacher if you have any questions or concerns.

This class is a great ESL/EFL class. I taught ESL for 8 years privately and in online classes.
