OUR TEACHING STYLE

📚 Early Language Exposure – We take advantage of the critical window for second language acquisition before age six (or as early as possible!), maximizing children’s natural ability to learn Spanish effortlessly.

🎯 Proven Teaching Strategies – Our approach includes research-backed methods such as Total Physical Response (TPR), Modeling, Scaffolding, Comprehensible Input, Reducing Incidental Language, and the use of Props to enhance learning.

🗣️ Supportive & Student-Centered Learning – We respect each child’s individual learning pace, allowing them to begin speaking when they’re ready while gently encouraging participation with multiple opportunities to engage in every class.

📝 Building Real-Life Language Skills – Rather than just introducing vocabulary, we prioritize real communication by encouraging sentence formation and modeling common sentence frames, helping students gain independence in speaking.

🌍 Engaging & Inclusive Environment – We create a welcoming, energetic, and supportive space where every child feels comfortable. By incorporating movement and adapting to different learning styles, we ensure all students stay engaged and thrive in their Spanish-learning journey. 🎶✨

NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR FIRST CLASS

PARTICIPATION
All students are encouraged to participate but please allow your learner to speak in their own timing. The teacher will provide opportunities but for learning a second language it is important for students to go through the “absorption” phase. Some students will want to speak on day one, but some students will need a little longer. Please message your teacher if you have concerns about your child’s participation.

BEFORE CLASS
👉Be sure to have zoom downloaded and updated on your device. Make sure you are logged into your Outschool account on that device as Zoom links cannot be shared.

👉You will receive a PDF ( sent on Sunday’s) that you can print or use on a tablet for further interaction in the class. 

👉Please have the designated class materials ready before the class meeting.

👉Please 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.

👉Please post on our classroom page after you enroll so we can get to know your learner more!

DURING CLASS
🏫Please allow student time to adjust to the class. Not all students will be ready to speak on day one but they are learning!

🏫Be ready to help with the mute/unmute function or other technology issues that may come up.

🏫Please have a quiet learning space.

🏫We will use Kahoot! It is not necessary to have the app. (We will provide QR code in class)

AFTER CLASS
⏩You will receive the game link and an additional PDF to practice more from home.

⏩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 you’d like your learner to review. 

REFUND POLICY

If a student is unable to attend class, families have the following options:

✅Pause Enrollment: They can pause enrollment for the week, with no charge for that week, they will be automatically re-enrolled if a spot is available.
✅Unenroll and Re-enroll: They can unenroll and re-enroll when their schedule allows.
✅Stay Enrolled and Watch Recording: They can stay enrolled and watch the class recording to ensure their child’s spot is maintained.

❗Other Important Notes:
⏩Our refund policy does not cover schedule conflicts. 
⏩Please make changes to your enrollment before Sunday at 10:00am to not be charged for the upcoming week.
⏩Refunds are only offered in extenuating circumstances, such as a family emergency.


ZOOM INTERACTIONS AND SAFETY REMINDERS
⏩All students must have a video check-in during the first 10 minutes of class or they will be placed in the waiting room for safety reasons.

⏩Be sure that your child’s name is displayed in Zoom before logging in.

⏩Please show your student the mute and unmute button or sit close by to assist. If there is distracting noise or background noise your teacher will have to mute your learner but we still want them to be able to participate.

⏩Only the enrolled learner may appear on the video. Parents or siblings need to be out of the camera’s view.
