Uno a uno: Explore con la Sra. Christina: una clase continua de canto, rima y juego

Let's dive in on your learner's interests! This class sets your child up for a lifetime love of learning. Through one-to-one activities such as interactive songs, action rhymes, games, and books on topics chosen by your learner, they'll expand vocabulary, increase phonological awareness, practice problem-solving, and gain confidence—all at their own pace.

My areas of expertise are literacy, international relations, English, German, Mandarin Chinese, and ukulele. For topics outside of my direct experience, I rely on the best books available at the public library, drawing on seven years of working in the children's room of a large public library myself. Let's see where your learner's interests and my expertise overlap!

A Typical Class Schedule:
> WARMUP SONG OR RHYME
> LESSON
> DISCUSSION
> GAME

Topics are learner directed and change from week-to-week.

NOTE ON BOOKS
We won't read books in class; we will present them to each other, pointing out key information and elements, such as topic, author, style, etc. The point of this exercise is to empower the learner to explore on their own and share what they find.

NOTE ON MUSIC
I strive to provide a welcoming and loving environment for all learners in my class. I research the history and origins of all the songs I use in my classes and don't use any I find to have hidden or harmful messaging, associations, or history. My own original songs are written with diversity, inclusion, and love for all children in mind.
