I have taught this subject area in elementary brick and mortar for over 3 years. I have also worked as a teacher in classrooms with migrant and refugee students from around the globe. At one of my schools, we had over 130 languages spoken! We engaged in weekend events for parents and students to share art work, music, and history from their countries and present dance, art, and music to other families each week.

Suggested materials will be sent to all enrolled learners 1-2 weeks prior to the start of class. Substitutions and alternative suggestions will be suggestion but virtual options will be made available to students as well.

Guardians will receive feedback after each class and a summary of what was discussed in class.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
