BEFORE CLASS: ____________ ๐Be sure to have zoom downloaded and updated on your device. ๐Make sure you are logged into your Outschool account on that device as Zoom links cannot be shared. ๐You will receive a PDF (usually sent on Sundayโs) that you can print or use on a tablet for further interaction in the class. ๐Please have the designated class materials ready before the class meeting. ๐Please have an extra device available for our game at the end of class (a phone or tablet will work just fine!) If you are unable to use another device you will receive a printout when your child enrolls that you can use during the game. ๐Please post on our classroom page after you enroll so we can get to know your learner more! DURING CLASS: _____________ ๐Please allow student time to adjust to the class. Not all students will be ready to speak on day one but they are learning! ๐Be ready to help with the mute/unmute function or other technology issues that may come up. ๐Please have a quiet learning space. ๐We will use Kahoot! But it is not necessary to have the app. In fact, the App often has glitches but you will be given a QR code to join during class!

The class recording will automatically be posted to the classroom page so that you are able to practice from home if you missed class or if youโd like your learner to review.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
As this class is for very young learners I request that a parent be present, especially for the first few classes. With this age of learner having a parent nearby helps the student feel comfortable and supported. It eases possible stress and encourages positive interactions with the teacher and other students.
