Ages: 3-5 yrs

Prerequisite: Potty trained

Class Description:

Pre-K is the beginning of a lifetime of learning, and I believe that the best learning at this age is done through play learning- learning when they don’t even know they are learning! I teach from a biblical perspective, and we will read Bible stories, sing Bible songs and pray each week. This class is open to those that are ages 3-5 as long as they are potty trained. We will use a mix of the following curriculums, All About Reading Pre-Reading, Explode the Code and several others that I have used snippets of in my own home for my 5 children. Most of our time will be spent using the center approach where they will learn many skills including fine motor, color and shape recognition, counting and number recognition, patterns and alphabet. They will also learn to recognize their name and depending on age and skill be able to write and spell it. We will work on scissor skills and most importantly work on developing relationships with peers and teamwork! I love this age and I think that teaching through play is the foundation of children finding a love for learning! I look forward to meeting your child and helping them grow.

Public speaking does not have to be a nerve-wracking experience! In a safe, supportive, and FUN atmosphere, students will practice many presentations which will build confidence, improve communication skills, and enhance leadership skills. Students will perform recitations of historical literature and speeches, debate a hot topic, emulate great storytellers, and give their own original speeches… all while having fun!

Proper etiquette could be the weight that tips the scale to your child’s advantage when being considered for a scholarship or at a job interview! We will devote a portion of our time each week to practicing proper manners in making conversation, digital etiquette, being a host or a guest, RSVP’s, thank you notes, introductions, dining etiquette, and so much more. We will practice our manners while enjoying a Thanksgiving brunch, a Christmas breakfast, and we will culminate our etiquette studies with dinner at an exclusive five star restaurant at the end of the school year!

Thankfully, both public speaking and etiquette are skills that can be learned and practiced. This training will help your child put others at ease, feel good about themselves, and leave awkwardness and social fear behind them! They will leave the class polished and poised!

***This class will count as a credit for high school speech.***

We will make new friends as we listen, create, and present our Lego builds to each other.

We will begin each class listening to a short narrative. Then the group will discuss ways to recreate (or sometimes finish) the story! Students will then enjoy time to build their creations on their own (and sometimes with partners!). We will conclude our class by sharing our builds with each other.

Students will learn as they analyze the elements of a story and will improve their listening, comprehension, and descriptive skills. They will use their problem solving and fine motor skills as they build, and students will grow and be encouraged as they present their creations to their peers.

Ready, Set, LeGO! And come join us on our our story building adventure!

Students will learn subjects like language, math, science, technology, and engineering more effectively while improving and developing their 21st-century skills, like problem solving, collaboration and communication.”
