Hello! Welcome to the Magical Little World! Lessons will be divided in four subcategories (Academic, Social, Creative, and General) and users will be given three ranks: Student, Assistant Teacher, and Parent Coach. Moderators will be chosen from any of these three categories.
How Lessons Will Work
I will
a schedule of lessons for the following month under 'Lesson Schedules'. I will on the schedule in Pacific and Eastern Time (US), and in other time zones if I notice a trend. 'Live Lessons' are lessons during which myself or an assistant teacher is present to facilitate lessons. We may ask you to have your child draw something, take a photo of it, and upload the file to the forum (which may take a little while, 
) or to answer a question.
Even if a lesson is not live, OF COURSE you can respond, answer the question, or ask what is going on. Being absent from live lessons is fine, as long as you are still an engaged learner.
—If your child answers a question wrong or rudely:
Do not correct them before posting their answer. It may drive the lesson further. If it is so rude or incorrect that you must fix it, simply do not it and have a short discussion with your child (off-screen) about why the question was a bad idea.
How Assessments Will Work
I don't usually give out assessments, but if I do, the time I will give them will be posted on the schedule. I will on the schedule in Pacific and Eastern Time (US), and in other time zones if I notice a trend. Assessments will generally be short Google forms related to recent lessons. Read the questions and options aloud to your kids and let them answer.
Progress Reports
I may send you a report of your student's progress from time to time. It will be based on assessment scores, lesson involvement, creativity, hard work, and general awesomeness.

* keep in mind that I am a minor with no teaching credentials, just a lot of ideas. The Magical Little World is not exactly a substitute for a real preschool, more of a supplement to one.
