Description:
Welcome to "Pequeños Científicos en Español," where young explorers aged 4-6 will dive into the world of science while immersing themselves in the Spanish language! This class is designed for children who are eager to learn, create, and discover through hands-on experiments using everyday household items.

Each week, we will conduct a fun and easy science experiment, all while learning Spanish. Whether we’re making volcanoes erupt or creating rainbow water, your child will be actively engaged in both science and language learning. Through step-by-step guidance, your child will build their scientific understanding and expand their Spanish vocabulary in a playful and interactive environment.

Class Format:
Before each class, I will send a short video introducing the materials and key vocabulary in Spanish. This video will help your child familiarize themselves with the terms and concepts we’ll use during the experiment. Along with the video, you will receive a card with the experiment instructions and materials in both Spanish and English, as well as optional flashcards to practice greetings, farewells, and useful phrases to use during class.

During the live session, we will:

Start with Spanish greetings and a quick check-in ("¿Cómo estás?").
Introduce the experiment and review the materials, emphasizing key vocabulary in Spanish.
Conduct the experiment step by step, with plenty of opportunities for your child to participate, ask questions, and practice speaking in Spanish.
Discuss the results and what we’ve learned, encouraging your child to describe their observations in Spanish.
End with farewells and a recap of the key vocabulary and concepts.

Materials & Equipment:

About a week before each class, I’ll post a list of materials needed in the classroom. For those who enroll later, I’ll send the list via email within 24 hours of signup. Since these experiments use common household items, they’re easy to gather and prepare. Please review the materials list to ensure your child has everything they need.

Safety and Participation:
Your child’s safety is my top priority. Please ensure a responsible adult is nearby during the class to assist as needed, especially when handling materials that might require extra care (like scissors, hot water, or small objects). According to Outschool’s policy, adults should remain off-camera during the class.

For the best experience, have your learner wear clothes that can get messy and have their materials ready before class begins.

What Makes This Class Unique?
This isn’t just a science class; it’s a bilingual learning adventure! Your child will not only explore fascinating science experiments but also naturally pick up Spanish vocabulary and phrases. The combination of science and language learning ensures that your child is engaged, curious, and excited about both subjects.

Classroom Rules and Expectations:
By joining this class, you’re helping us create a fun and respectful environment where everyone can learn and enjoy themselves. Here are some simple guidelines to keep our classroom a happy place:

Be Kind and Respectful: Treat your classmates, yourself, and the teacher with kindness. We all learn better when we’re friendly and polite.
Use Friendly Words: Let’s all use words that are positive and kind. We avoid saying anything that could hurt someone’s feelings.
Keep Personal Info Private: Please don’t share personal details or links during class. Your safety is important to us!
Take Turns Speaking: It’s great to share your ideas! Just remember to wait for your turn so everyone can be heard.
Raise Your Hand: If you have something to say or ask, just raise your hand. We’ll make sure everyone gets a chance to participate.
No Bullying: We want everyone to feel safe and happy. Bullying or being mean isn’t allowed, and it may lead to having to sit out for a bit.
Zoom Name: Please use the same name on Zoom that you signed up with. This helps us know who’s in class and keeps things running smoothly!
Show Your Smile (at the Start): To help us know it’s really you, please turn on your video at the beginning of class. After that, you can choose to keep your video on or off—whatever makes you most comfortable.
Student Behavior:
We’re all here to learn and have fun together. Being respectful and kind to everyone helps make our class a great place. If a student is disruptive, aggressive, or unkind, they will receive two warnings. If the behavior continues, they may be removed from the session and invited to return at the next session.

Microphone Use:
Students are not required to keep their microphones muted during class, but if unnecessary noises or disruptions occur (like talking over others), the student will receive two warnings. If the behavior continues, the microphone will be muted without further warning. This ensures that everyone can hear clearly and participate fully, especially when practicing new words or answering questions.

Parent Engagement:
Parents are welcome to be nearby during class to support their child. However, all communication between parents and the teacher must occur through Outschool messages only. If you have any concerns or questions, please reach out to me privately through the Outschool platform. Parents should not engage directly with other students during class; all interactions with students will be managed by the teacher.

Communication Guidelines:
To ensure student safety and privacy, all communication between parents, students, and the teacher must be conducted through the Outschool platform. If your child wishes to connect with another student outside of class, please reach out to me first through a private message on Outschool, and I will help facilitate that communication.
