Class Experience

Hola! In this weekly class, I'll tailor the lesson to meet your child's needs. 

Need specific help with Spanish tests, conversational Spanish, or those pesky verbs? With close communication from parents, I can customize the lessons to be specifically what your child needs help with.

Want a structured Spanish curriculum? I'll teach your kids how to speak Spanish from the very basics. This class is designed for beginners, so we'll start off with greetings and introductions. Need something more advanced? No problem.

 Each week, we'll learn something completely new. Please note that these classes do NOT build on each other, so your child will feel comfortable joining class with me on any date that is convenient for you. Each week will have a new, independent lesson for your child. 

This can be a full immersion class, if your child is already in a dual immersion school. It can also be a class that is mainly taught in English, if your child is a beginner. 

Please note that it is important for your child to be willing to repeat the Spanish words during class, and practice saying them with me in the lessons. 

Here are some of the features that you can expect in each interactive lesson of my curriculum:
-an ice-breaker question to get your child comfortable in class
-vocabulary review games via Nearpod
-Nearpod activities like Time to Climb, Fill in the Blanks, etc
-ample opportunity for your child to speak Spanish
-an eye-catching slide presentation 
-a slide dedicated to learning an important aspect of Mexican culture
-some lessons will have a short story, written by me, to practice the Spanish vocabulary taught in the lesson
-optional homework after most classes, for extra practice


Here is a breakdown of the class topics scheduled for each week for the first several weeks of the lesson, if you choose to follow my beginners' curriculum. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of class topics that will be discussed into the future. This is just to give you an idea of how we will start.

Week 1: Greetings. Students will learn different expressions for saying HELLO, WHAT'S UP, GOOD AFTERNOON, etc. We'll also discuss the importance of showing personal interest when greeting someone in Mexico.

Week 2: Goodbyes. Kids will learn many different expressions to say goodbye in Spanish, like SEE YOU LATER, UNTIL NEXT TIME, I'LL SEE YOU, etc. We'll also talk a bit about the cultural context of saying goodbye in Mexico, and how it may be different from what a person may be used to in the US (since that's where I'm from).

Week 3: Basic Introductions. Students will learn how to share their names in two different ways in Spanish, and how to ask for someone's name in two ways. We'll also discuss the difference between two ways to say YOU in Spanish, as well as how to ask for someone's last name. Kids will also learn about the Spanish naming tradition that is commonly used for last names in Mexico. 

Week 4: How are you?  Kids will learn how to ask about others, as well as 5 different adjectives to describe their mood today. We'll also learn how to make adjectives grammatically match their nouns in Spanish, depending if the adjective is masculine or feminine. 

And much more!

I look forward to seeing your child soon! Nos vemos!

Other Details

Parental Guidance
NEARPOD Please note that I use Nearpod for my lessons. Nearpod is a website that allows teachers to create slide presentations with interactive activities for students. A link will be provided via the Zoom chat box during the live class to access Nearpod. I will also provide the necessary 5 digit code to access the lesson. If students wish, I can also provide them with a link to access the lesson on their own time after class. STUDENTS DO NOT NEED A NEARPOD ACCOUNT TO ACCESS THIS FEATURE. ********************** KAHOOT I may use Kahoot in this class, or I may not. Kahoot is a website where teachers design quiz games for students to test their knowledge and review what they've learned. If I use Kahoot in class, I will provide students with the necessary link and Game PIN to access the Kahoot game. I will also include this information in the virtual classroom, for students who wish to play the Kahoot game at a later time. STUDENTS DO NOT NEED A KAHOOT ACCOUNT TO USE THIS FEATURE. ********************* CANVA I may need to use canva to present the class material in the event that the NEARPOD website is down. This would be a rare event and only in an emergency. Please note that students do not need a Canva account for me to use this feature. Students will not need to log into Canva. In the event that I use Canva to present the lesson, this will only be via screen share. ********************** QUIZLET I often use quizlet to help students review vocabulary learned in class. Quizlet is a website with electronic flash cards and games, to help students review. Students do not need a quizlet account to use this feature. I will provide specific links to quizlets that I create for students use in the virtual classroom. ********************* YOUTUBE occasionally my classes include a very brief YouTube video. This is only in a class or two, but it adds to the class experience when I choose to use it. YouTube videos that I use are very short, usually under 2 minutes long. Students do not need a YouTube account and they do not need to sign into YouTube for me to use this feature in class. I will simply share a video that is embedded into the near pod material that is sourced from YouTube. This will be used only on the screen share and students do not need to sign into YouTube to use this feature. ZOOM LINKS Please note that I cannot provide Zoom links for students to enter the session. Outschool does not allow this. ***************************** TECHNOLOGY NOTE Children should be able to handle technological functions like accessing the Zoom chat box, turning on or off their microphone on Zoom, clicking a link to open the Nearpod website, navigating to the Nearpod website, and opening a new tab on their internet browser to see the Nearpod website. They should be able to click answers to questions on their screens. It would also be good for them to know how to navigate between Zoom and an external website, since they'll need to do this during class to participate in the Nearpod games. **************************** PARENTS EMAILING OR MESSAGING THE TEACHER DURING CLASS Please note that I may not receive your messages if you are emailing or messaging me during a live class. For example, if you child is not able to enter Zoom due to a technical issue, and you message me during a live group class, I may not be able to check your messages or respond right away. My attention is naturally focused on the students in my classroom at that time, and I am not closely monitoring my email or messages. I try my best to check on messages is a student has not joined us, but I can't always check immediately. **************************** SKILLS REQUIRED Students need to be able to read to participate in this class. *************************** BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS Students are expected to raise their hands to share their thoughts, or ask/answer questions. Interruptions will be handled with patience, but I may need to mute a student who constantly interrupts the teacher or his/her fellow classmates. I do not like to mute students, because I want to encourage free and frequent participation, but on rare occasions it's necessary to preserve the class flow and environment. Profanity will not be tolerated. This is extremely rare of course, but any students using profanity will be immediately muted. *************************** POLICY REGARDING CLASS RUNNING OVERTIME Rarely, class may run overtime by a minute or two. If your child needs to leave right on time, and for some reason I haven't wrapped up, they may leave immediately without asking permission. I understand that students have other classes, obligations, and activities. ************************* POLICY REGARDING EATING AND RESTROOM BREAKS Please let your kids know that they do not need to ask me for permission to go to the restroom. They may just get up and go when they need to. I am perfectly fine with kids eating or drinking in class, as long as they are able to swallow their food before speaking to the class, and please turn off their microphone while chewing. ************************* PARTICIPATION POLICY My classes are student-centered, meaning that I try to let kids participate and speak as much as possible during class. This gives them more opportunity to use Spanish, and get involved in the lesson. Students who come to my class are expected to participate frequently. If your child is shy, don't worry; everyone is welcome to participate in the chat box, rather than speaking aloud. Speaking aloud is preferred, but not mandatory. I understand that every student is different. *********************** CAMERA POLICY Please note that children are NOT required to keep their cameras on during class. They are, however, required to turn their cameras on for a split second at the beginning of class, so I can verify that they are children. This is an Outschool safety policy. The exception to this rule is verified learners. Please make sure that your child has a working camera so I can verify who they are. If I cannot see them at all, and they are not verified learners, I am required to remove them from the classroom, even if I recognize their voice. ********************* STUDENT NAME POLICY Please make sure your kids understand that their name is important when they sign in to the classroom. For their safety, their name must match exactly what it is on their Outschool profile, OR it can match their parent´s name on their Outschool profile. I am not allowed to admit students with other names into the Zoom classroom. ******************** REFUND POLICY Each class type here on Outschool has different refund policies. Most (if not all) are refundable if you cancel within 24 hours of purchase. Some are also automatically refunded if you cancel up to 1 week before the class start time. There are many circumstances where a refund is up to the teacher's sole discretion. For example: -student technical or Zoom trouble that prevented them from joining class -last-minute requests for cancellation due to vacation or family outings -emergency situations, like a run to the hospital or a death in the family -a student gets sick and can't join us at the last minute Refunds are generally given for: -emergencies -student illness -death in the family -funerals -other special circumstances, at the teacher's discretion -family trips or vacations, if I am advised 1 week or more in advance (In this case you can cancel the class, and Outschool will automatically issue you a refund.) Refunds are generally not given for: -family vacation, if I am advised less than 1 week in advance -student technical issues -student internet problems -students arriving late to class -students missing class because they forgot -students or families mixing up the time because of daylight savings or a time difference between their region and the class listing Please note that these are my general policies, and each situation will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Abuse of the refund policy may result in refusal of refund that I would generally issue. ************************ STUDENT NO-SHOW POLICY Outschool has set up a policy to handle student no-shows. If a student does not show up to class, with no communicaton from the family, for ten minutes after the class start time, the teacher may exit the Zoom classroom and end the class. No refund is provided in this situation. The teacher leaves a brief comment in the virutal classroom explaining that they are no longer on Zoom to advise the family. ************************* CLASS RESCHEDULING POLICY If I am at fault for class not taking place on time, I will offer to reschedule the lesson at no charge to the family. If the student is at fault due to technical issues, vacation, emergencies, etc, I may offer to reschedule the lesson on a case-by-case basis. I generally do not reschedule due to student internet problems, but I may do so if students rarely have this problem and do not abuse my refund policy.
