Multiplication
Ages 7yr-10yr
Collette Connor
Winter/Spring 2021
Math
Schedule:
Description:
PREREQUISITE - must have completed fall/winter term in order to register for this class. Not accepting new students.
This will be a fun class as we work consistently through the Math U See single and multiple digit multiplication Gamma book. No previous experience with multiplication is required. However a solid foundation in addition and subtraction is highly recommended. I will be using the Math U See manipulatives as well as skip counting, dot to dot pages, and regular 5 minute math drills. I have 5 kids, have been homeschooling for 27 years, and teaching other students for about 15 years so I understand how different each student can be. As a teacher my goal is to help them succeed even if math is not their strongest subject. Over the years I have learned how vital the parent's role is in the student's success and that consistency is definitely the key in math! Therefore their assignments will consist of about 20 questions a day and 1 quiz a week. I'm looking forward to working together and getting to know you and your sweet student!
This is a two day a week class.

Hi everyone! I’m excited to teach you how to draw a face and hone in on where to start and how to finish! We’ll be looking at the structure of the face and where to place features. It’s also important to find your shadows to make that 2D surface pop into 3D. Get your pointer finger ready for a lot of blending of graphite. Each of you will be picking a reference to draw from.

Please send students in clothes that can get messy so they can feel free to create!
