4th-grade information One Room Schoolhouse (1st - 4th Grade ) 1st through 4th Grade - One Room Schoolhouse One Room Schoolhouse I’m so excited to welcome your kids and family into our classroom! We’ll be learning together, while each child follows their own weekly lesson plan. This works great for siblings as some of the lessons will be the same. One of the wonderful things about a multi-age class is how it naturally builds confidence, teamwork, and lowers stress. I loved this style of teaching with my own kids. Our class focuses on learning through play, bringing nature inside the classroom, exploring, experiments and hands-on activities. We’ll have dramatic play centers that change throughout the year, and arts and crafts will be part of many lessons. I love teaching this way because kids never get bored but while still having a daily routine. I truly believe kids need to play and move so we do several short lessons and several play short times every day. My hope is that every child looks forward to coming to class and develops a lifelong love of learning. Math - We use Abeka Math, a traditional, spiral curriculum that introduces concepts simply and builds on them each year, with plenty of review to help kids really understand. Aspire Academy uses this program, so it also makes transitions easier if needed. Most weeks, we’ll do lessons in class and workbook practice at home. I also include math games and activities to keep it fun and engaging. The link to order the right math book for your child will be provided. Language Arts and Reading - In class, we use Language Lessons for Today. These are short, interactive lessons covering oral and written composition, picture study, poetry memorization, copywork, dictation, literature, narration, and dictionary skills. This curriculum is great for me to use in a group for the entire class. We also use Masterbooks’ Language Lessons for a Living Education, which blends stories, poems, Scripture, copywork, narration, and hands-on activities to help kids build strong reading, writing, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and handwriting skills. After researching many programs, this felt like the best fit for our class. The link to order will be provided. Reading Books will be chosen based on each child’s level and interests. We have a wide variety of genres, especially for older kids. I will encourage a variety or books this year for them to pick from to read. Upper levels will have assignments to build comprehension, while younger ones will focus on phonics and foundational reading skills. My goal is to help every child grow in confidence and develop a love of reading. We will also be reading chapter books in class I love this time and so do they. Their brains relax and they use their imagination as they listen to the story. All needed books and worksheets will be provided. History & Science - This is where the fun really begins! I use a variety of curriculums for history and science, we will be learning together. I loved teaching my own kids this way because it simplified things while making the learning creative and hands-on. Don’t worry—if your child takes this class again, the content will always be different. As there is so much we can cover. History won’t be boring here! We’ll become actors, artists, builders, and explorers. We’ll do cooking projects and hear amazing stories and biographies. We cover a wide range of topics—from Native Americans, explorers, and Pilgrims to American wars, government, holidays, national parks, geography, and more. Science is a favorite because kids are naturally curious and always asking “why?” Together, we’ll explore life science (plants, animals, the human body), earth and space science (weather, seasons, planets, natural disasters), and physical science (matter, energy, machines, motion). All history and science materials are included in the supply fee, and I’ll send home project ideas and worksheets for days you learn at home. Handwriting- Handwriting Without Tears this will be optional and done at home but can be included in your daily lessons for home days. Typically, kids complete one book per year. Links for ordering will be provided. I’m looking forward to another wonderful school year and can’t wait to get started! As always, feel free to reach out to me on the BAND app with any questions—I’m happy to chat and help however I can.

Our childcare options Montessori Class Ages - 3 to 6 (must be potty trained) Mondays and Wednesdays (both days required) OR Tuesday and Thursdays (both days required) Grades: Preschool & Kindergarten Teacher: Amber Andrews Full Day 8:30am - 3:00pm The Montessori class for ages 3–6 offers a warm, academically focused environment where children learn through hands-on exploration and purposeful work. Guided by a trained Montessori educator, students engage in core subjects such as math, language, science, and cultural studies using specialized materials that build independence, concentration, and a deep understanding of academic concepts. The classroom also nurtures curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. As an ongoing educational approach, Montessori supports continued growth year after year, providing returning students with opportunities to build on prior knowledge and advance at their own pace. Our day will consist of two snack times and a family-style lunchtime. We ask that parents bring a backpack fully stocked. Please make sure to include all that apply: two snacks, any bathroom items needed, a labeled water bottle, lunch, a change of clothes, and a nap mat. Please label all items.
