It is wise for students to have access to paper and pencil and basic coloring supplies as these will often be used in class. Though this is not required, it is often helpful to have printed sheets for class. (The sheets that will be discussed during class will be listed in the classroom post.) Other materials will be posted to the classroom several days before the lesson and will always be common household items. Students should still come to class even if they are not able to have these supplies as they will still be able to learn from class :)

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
blooket
Youtube
Gimkit

If students begin to share sensitive information, I am very skilled in using empathy and redirection to keep the class on topic. I will also reach out to parents as needed and parents are encouraged to contact me if they have any questions or concerns.  

We do talk about dating relationships during topic 12 of this class. The goal of this lesson is to understand what healthy dating relationships look like for this age range and how to refrain from making impulsive decisions. If parents have questions about this topic (or any other topic) you are encouraged to contact me :)

Blooket & Gimkit will be used for this class to review class material. (I alternate based on student preferences.) Students will access this via a link sent in the chat during the class meeting. I may also provide "homework" links in the classroom for students who wish to play class-based games between meetings. Students do not need a blooket or gimkit account, but are free to use one if the have one. 

YouTube will also be used during this class. It will be used to play videos to support some of the lessons during meetings. All videos will be appropriate for the subject matter and age range of the students in the class. None of the content will be graphic and I do not anticipate that any of it will be scary for learners. If you have questions about videos that will be used in class, please feel free to reach out to me. Video links will not be given to students. If a video is particularly helpful to a group and they request that it be shared in a classroom post, I will share it and they will be able to view the video via the OS classroom. A YouTube account is not required.
