WOW, I can read many four letter words, but what about all those other tricky words? Did you know that q has a best friend, every syllable has a vowel, words like floss follow the “floss rule”, that letter R is very bossy and that vowels work in teams? In this group based on Orton Gillingham practices my friends will dive into more complicated word patterns through games, word challenges, written expression and picture books all while increasing vocabulary and gaining reading accuracy and fluency. By gaining confidence in word decoding, students will be able to read more complex texts and focus more easily on language comprehension and other higher order reading comprehension skills. Students will participate in reading extension activities to include story element maps, creative writing and graphic organizers. They will become strong decoders who can read with a purpose, build vocabulary and increase their verbal reasoning skills.

This group focuses on nature-based ecology and environmental biology with additional lessons in natural history and nature journaling.

Seedlings will be very sensory focused as we explore the sights, sounds, and feelings of nature. Learners will have the opportunity to be creative, play games, and ask lots of questions.

This four-hour class is perfect for age 4 through lower level First Grade, and is based on learning through play. The curriculum will follow developmentally appropriate goals and objectives for children within four main categories of interest: social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language. The goal is to help promote independence, self-confidence and a love of learning. We will go outside everyday, maybe multiple times, even in the rain. We will explore, get dirty and go on adventures! I have a love of children’s literature that I hope to share with your children. Our literacy exploration will lead to learning the alphabet, letter sounds and even early reading. Math and science will be hands-on. We will learn that we can all be little scientists with fun, messy experiments! I am excited to create rich environments for learning, and forge strong home-school connections. It will be a GREAT year!
