I am so excited for this new adventure! As an elementary school teacher, I recognize the importance of preparing our children as best we can to enter Kindergarten and get them excited to learn. I went into teaching because I love learning, I love kids, and I wanted to make a difference in the world. Teachers are so important in our children's lives.
I plan to have two classes with a maximum size of 8 children.
Caterpillars - Must be 3 by Sept. 1st
Butterflies - Must be 4 by Sept. 1st
Each class will meet twice a week for two hours. Right now I am planning Tues/Thurs classes with Caterpillars from 9-11 and Butterflies from 12:30-2:30. Classes will start Sept. 6, 2022 and end May 25, 2023. No classes will be held the week of Thanksgiving, two weeks for Christmas and the week of Spring Break. Specific dates to follow.
Classes are $80 per month and a one time supply fee of $20.
The 3 year old class will introduce topics such as letter recognition, letter sounds, colors, shapes, rhyming, patterns, sequencing, problem solving and social skills. Children learn best through play and play we will! With activities inside and outside, music, art, and lots of movement, children will gain important skills to prepare them to enter the formal classroom. Preference will go to children who are potty trained.
The 4 year old class will expand on similar topics of letter recognition, letter sounds, colors, shapes, rhyming, patterns, sequencing, problem solving and social skills, diving a bit deeper to solidify their knowledge as they prepare to enter Kindergarten. 4 year olds must be potty trained.
Example objective: Associate the long and short sounds with the common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels.
Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC) words.
