Aventuras de Halloween

In this 1 week flexible schedule class, learners will explore a wide range of subjects and skills using a Halloween theme.  Through engaging activities and hands-on experiences, learners will develop essential academic skills, creativity, and practical life skills.

This is a flexible schedule class which means there are no live classes.  Each day I will add pre recorded videos into the classroom by 9 am central time.  Learners may watch the videos and follow along with the lessons.  There will be a video each day and for each subject.  So there will be around 5 short (5-10 minute) videos and activities each day.  Do not feel like you have to do them all in one day or at a time.  There are different subjects that you can focus on the subjects that interest you most or use them throughout the day.   

The class is designed to be fun, interactive, and educational. Each day will incorporate a mix of hands-on activities, group discussions, creative expression, and exploration of various subjects. 

No prior experience or knowledge is required for this class. It is designed to cater to all levels of learners, from beginners to those with some prior knowledge. All that's needed is a curious mind, enthusiasm, and a willingness to participate in our exciting Halloween-themed activities.
