(Spanish for Beginners) is an ongoing class that includes learning Spanish through engaging presentations, repetition, hands-on activities, playing games, question and answer, songs, art, and more! This class is designed for students with little to no experience with the Spanish language. Each week will have a different theme for the vocabulary to be discussed.

Parental Guidance
1. Students should know how to use Zoom including muting/unmuting, and accessing the chat (to send the teacher a message and/or respond to a message from the teacher). If a student is not comfortable doing these things, a parent/guardian should be nearby to assist them if needed.
2. Students should feel comfortable clicking a link given in the chat to access an external resource (such as a google slides activity or quizlet vocabulary game). If a student is not comfortable doing these things, a parent/guardian should be nearby to assist them if needed.
3. We will often be playing an interactive game or doing an interactive activity to review and practice the content of lesson. Whenever we do this, I will post a direct link to the game/activity in the Zoom chat. Students will need to be able to click the link provided, which will open up the game/activity in an internet browser's tab. Students will need to feel comfortable navigating back and forth as needed between the game/activity and Zoom. Or students can access the game/activity via a 2nd electronic device, like a tablet or phone. They will go to their internet app and type in the link to join in their internet browser's web address area. A parent/guardian might be needed to assist with this.
4. At Outschool we care deeply about our learners’ safety and privacy. In this class, we will occasionally use Third Party Tools to enhance student learning. As an educator on Outschool, I strive to meet all requirements of COPPA when it comes to external teaching tools that may be used with learners under 13 years old. Please review external resources that will be used in this course - all resources are approved by Outschool and/or have been self-vetted and do not require students to create accounts or give out personal information (like an email address). Please feel free to message me about any of the external resources we might use in this class.
***I do not share class recordings out of an effort to be cautious and to protect students and their privacy.
