Girls' Club: Conversation & Play for Social Butterflies

COUPON: ADAMSCLASS5 for $5 off first class for new students! 

In this classroom, social butterflies gather to play, converse, and socialize with peers. We play awesome team games, dress up, bring our pets and favorite toys to class, and show & share fun projects we've all been working on, and share exciting news (i.e. "I lost a tooth!"). Girls will spend one-on-one time in Breakout Rooms with a friend during every class too! They bring Barbies, My Little Ponies, put on make-up together, read books to each other, tell jokes, practice typing and reading in the chat together, take food orders and make dough food creations, and play musical instruments and sing to one another. When we have young writers in class, sometimes they'll read the stories they're working on in their Breakout Room. The spotlight is on socialization and conversation, and all social butterflies are welcome! Grab your wings, tiara, cape, or gown, and a few of your favorite things to talk about!

Butterflies, it's up to you what you'd like to play & discuss during breakout rooms, so feel free to bring whatever it is you enjoy for that time!

Class Structure: 
🦋 3 minutes: Welcome! Our Social Butterflies will gather together at the start of class for hello, microphone check, and attendance before splitting into breakout rooms for 1:1 supervised small group chat time with friend(s).
🦋 32 minutes: Breakout Rooms
🦋 Dismissal from Breakout Rooms directly to allow maximum time with friends.

Classroom Rules & Expectations:
⛔ No video games during class 
⛔ No screen-sharing will be permitted during Breakout Rooms to play video games, search the Internet, or watch YouTube.
✔️ Screen-sharing to use the whiteboard will be allowed during Breakout Rooms so that students who wish to draw together or play games (tic-tac-toe, etc) may do so.
✔️Video cameras are expected to be turned on for the duration of the entire class because this class promotes active socialization and participation.
✔️Students are expected to raise their hands in the big classroom and wait to be called on, and muting/unmuting is used to help keep classroom noise to a minimum. Once students have moved to Breakout Rooms, they are expected to stay unmuted for open conversation and play.

This class does utilize Breakout Rooms in ZOOM to provide a safe space for students to play and converse directly with peers in a small group setting. Breakout Rooms are monitored by this teacher at all times. In the event that an odd number of students are in class on any given day, students may be paired in a group of three for Breakout Rooms as opposed to one-on-one. Students are paired with friends based on age and interest, and groups are chosen carefully by the teacher.
