Our Class 3 Math Skills Practice Lessons are live, interactive, and meet twice per week for 50 minutes with the teacher.  Language Arts Skills Practice class meets once per week for 50 minutes with the teacher. During these lessons, the teacher will provide instruction and practice following a Waldorf-inspired math and language arts curriculum. 

Practicing and gaining Mastery in Language Arts and Math Skills is an essential component of Class Three. Many skills such as spelling sight words (words that are difficult to spell phonetically), math times tables, and addition and subtraction facts take daily practice for mastery. You and your child will learn a variety of strategies for each concept to continue the practice at home.

Expectations:

Class 3 students will be assigned individual math and/or language arts homework to work on outside of class time.  Students can expect to spend an average of 1 hour each week on individual homework outside of class time.

Students do not need to be enrolled in Lotus & Ivy Main Lesson Class to enroll in Lotus & Ivy Math & Language Arts Skills Practice; however, most students in the Math & Language Arts Skills Practice class are also in the Main Lesson class and the Main Lesson content feeds the Math & Language Arts Skills Practice content. If registering a la carte for Math & Language Arts Skills Practice, we recommend you follow the same Main Lesson block rotation at home.

Please Note: There are three math main lesson blocks for Class 3.  These are taught as part of the Lotus & Ivy Main Lesson Classes.  Both our main lesson classes and our math & Language arts skills practice classes, together, are part of the full Lotus & Ivy curriculum, which provides a solid, whole-child and rigorous math education.  We encourage students to enroll in our math & language arts skills practice program, in addition to our main lesson classes, because it gives children a yearlong course in age-appropriate math and language arts topics in addition to the math and language main lessons.
