Who's ready to learn Spanish⁉️ Who's ready to play⁉️ Who's ready to sing and dance⁉️ 😍😁😃 🌞This ongoing class will run 3 days a week for 30 minute periods. It is the perfect opportunity to share meaningful learning experiences to your energetic learner and to introduce the Spanish language. 🌞Children thrive on routine because it provides a sense of comfort and safety, that allows for optimal learning. This class will bring your learner a safe learning environment and a routine that will include songs, interactive games, word of the week, number of the week, shape of the week and theme of the week! 🌞The class will be taught with the help of my trustee friend, Señor Ku-Kamanga (toy puppet) and through music, dance, stories and videos. Students will be encouraged to participate in reading, dancing, singing, and writing; instilling confidence in them and a love for learning. 📝📝📝A few things to keep in mind about my classroom: ✅This class serves as an introduction to the Spanish language and as the title indicates, it is a Bilingual class NOT a Spanish immersion class. ✅All students will be muted when needed, to minimize background noise. Please ensure to spend some time with your learner, teaching the mute and unmute features as I am unable to unmute them. Or I ask that you sit with your learner in order to provide that support. I want to make sure every learner gets a chance to speak and ask questions when it is their turn. ✅Please read the "Teacher Expertise" section below to learn more about the importance of my circle time classes and the benefits of active listening and the use of songs in the classroom. ⤵️ 🙂😃 I am so excited to have your child be a part of my class! Students will learn Spanish vocabulary, improve their speaking and listening skills, and foster a sense of community in my classroom. **IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ!** Please take a few minutes to watch the following video on how your learner can draw on the screen while we are in class.

Parental Guidance
To help parents make an informed decision about this class, I would like parents to keep the following requirements in mind:
👟In this class we will occasionally dance, stretch and move. Due to this, please make sure your learner has plenty of space, comfortable footwear and a water bottle if needed.
✄Students who are not comfortable using scissors on their own may need adult supervision when we work on cut and paste activities. Or have the pictures/words pre-cut for your learner.
Supply List
📃 I will provide handouts from time to time. Each learner will need to have the handout ready to work on during class. 🖍✄We will occasionally be colouring, cutting and pasting. Learners will need to have crayons, scissors and glue. ⭐️IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ!

➡️I am a certified and experienced elementary school teacher who continues to teach children ages 4-9. Prior to this, I worked for several years at a daycare centre with preschool children, where circle time was our favourite part of the day. It was a time of fun activities where the children enjoyed learning through singing, rhymes, and a variety of interactive games.
➡️In my years of working with children and now, as a graduate student completing a Master's degree in Marriage and Family therapy, I know the importance of circle time as a way to provide active listening time for children. Active Listening is a specific form of communication that lets another person know that you are “with them,” aware of what they are saying, accepting of their perspective, and appreciative of their situation. For this reason, the first few minutes of class will be dedicated to listening to the students and any important "noticias" (news) they may want to share with their friends and teacher.
➡️In addition to this, circle time activities help children transition from one part of the day to the next. In this class, children will feel involved and will be taught important skills, like taking turns to speak and listening to others. Children who take part in this class will discover that learning is fun and exciting, as they learn a new language.
➡️Singing is a valuable teaching tool and an integral part of my lessons since I have found that learning a new concept through a song can be more enjoyable for children, specially for this age group. Using songs has helped my learners improve their listening skills and pronunciation; and has been useful for teaching vocabulary and sentence structures. Music offers many advantages for learning languages. Studies have shown that listening to a song and humming along can help with language learning! Listening to music also helps with memorisation because singing new words makes them easier to remember. And oh yes... I love to sing!
