About the Instructor: Hello! My name is Kayla Erickson. I am a mom here at Class Source and of course a homeschooling mom who already has a background in early childhood education. I taught prekindergarten for many years, and then ventured into teaching English for international students between the ages of 4-13 strictly online. I decided to join Class Source as an instructor because I felt the importance of giving back to the homeschool community. I am excited to offer a new course to make learning enjoyable for your young one!
Objectives: We will be exploring different books each week on various age appropriate topics. We will discuss the different elements to look for in reading such as: setting, characters and the plot. After each reading, there will be an activity planned to go with the reading such as an art activity, food activity or a game. For our grammar and writing portion, we will do assessments in the beginning of the year to make sure that they are at their level. We will be learning how to write, and we will learn different grammar components such as nouns and verbs with games and activities. One on one time with each student will be given on rotation each week to view their progress.
Homework: There will be homework sent home on occasion or as needed. I will also send home handouts, which will be distributed at the beginning of the year, to keep at home with sight words, vocabulary words, verbs, nouns and other fun game ideas to do at home. This can be a supplemental tool used for the student to get more practice in. Check folders every class to make sure we have Make sure to open your email from me via Thinkwave to see what homework needs to be turned in.
