Students will also get their Adventure Passport stamped from that week’s country! Performance opportunities available!
Whip out your micron pens for a black and white sketch that will look like you’ve been drawing for ages. Unlike graphite pencils which can look smudgy and gray, pens deliver clean lines. We’ll learn different techniques of drawing with a pen including cross hatching, pointillism, and more! Inktober happens in October where each day you have word prompts to draw from using your pens. We’ll be participating in that and seeing what each person comes up with daily. The other months will be filled with exercises, fun patterns to draw, and a big project toward the end of the semester.
Homework: 30 minutes a week

Do you want to know how to be a good pet owner? Would you like to know which animals make good pets? In this class you will be introduced to some familiar and unfamiliar animals as we learn together what is required to care for a pet. We'll play games, make crafts, watch short video clips, and even interact with some furry (and not so furry) pets. Throughout the course we will be creating and collecting mini books and students will construct a lapbook of their own on the last day of class to take home. Students will also have the opportunity to "borrow" a hamster and practice for a week if pre-approved by the parent. Some pets we will discover besides cats & dogs include rodents, reptiles, insects, fish and birds.

Take the mystery out of learning phonics & handwriting. This year-long class will use a multisensory/kinesthetic approach to introduce the short vowels sounds as your child begins to practice *reading & *writing CVC words (consonant/vowel/consonant, "mat"). Each week we will explore a new consonant letter for reading/phonics and proper letter formation, through the help of: puppets, songs, crafts, manipulatives, dress-up days, share days and snack days too.
Each little detective will be going through Explode the Code- Book 1 (I will provide). We will also be using corresponding Bob Book readers and Learning Without Tears concepts for our handwriting instruction.
Students will build a darling notebook of their projects and ETC pages to take home at the end of the year.
Requirements:
*Each child develops at a different rate. This class will focus on a playful, yet structured approach to get your child excited about learning. Kids are NOT required to read or write to join in the fun. Students will be
encouraged to follow 3-step directions, work independently, ask for help if needed, take turns and show kindness and respect to the teacher and fellow classmates.
