Does your learner love Christmas? Are they so excited it's coming soon? Me too! I absolutely LOVE Christmas and all that comes along with it. Come join the fun as we countdown to Christmas. In this class, we will countdown to Christmas with a new theme each class. We will read a story, draw, sing, dance and move around, and so much more. After class, learners are encouraged to check the classroom for a fun puzzle and craft (both are optional). If theychoose to do the craft, they are encouraged to share it with us at the beginning of the next class or they can post a picture in the classroom. Class Themes: Class 1 - Decorations Class 2 - Movies & Songs Class 3 - Yummy Treats Class 4 - Presents *Supplies needed for each class are paper, crayons, water bottle, and a safe space to get up and move around in front of device. *There will be optional activities (puzzle and craft) provided by the teacher in the classroom after each class. If learners choose to do the craft, they are encouraged to share it with us at the beginning of the next class, or they can post a picture in the classroom. *Each learner must be registered to attend the class; however, siblings/friends can share a screen to participate in the class. *Please make sure your learner knows how to find and use the Mute/Unmute button. There are times when a learner’s background is noisy. Their mic will be muted by the teacher so the class and the learning and thinking processes are not disrupted. Your learner will then have to unmute their mic in order to talk. Zoom will not allow teachers to unmute mics anymore. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. *NOTE: This particular class meets once a week for four weeks. I also offer this same class in a “camp” style class that meets four times a week for one week. If the camp class fits your schedule better, you can check it out at https://outschool.com/classes/countdown-to-christmas-camp-Vs9VHxxk.
