Learners will learn how to communicate with others, share ideas, make friends, different foods, and about global locations.

I have a biology background and am a homeschool mom to 3 kids that are 11, 12, and 13. I have taught children in various settings beyond homeschool (preschool, coop, and private tutoring) and have led many types children's groups, for example, summer camp, reading times, craft clubs, and my current ongoing girl's group, The Awesome Blossoms.

Welcome to our Group! I want all of our learners to feel comfortable, connected, and safe. That's why I have 3 rules I ask you to follow: Be Kind, Be Safe, and Be Respectful.

Be Kind - Help all learners feel welcome and included. Teasing, name calling, or bullying anybody in our community? Nope. Not happening here
Be Safe - Keep your personal information private and never ask other learners for theirs. Keep your full name, home address, email, and school name private.
Be Respectful - Treat others how you want to be treated. Keep language clean. If you wouldn't say it or share with your grandma, don't do it here. Also, please make sure to be covered up in videos and pictures... pj's are fine, but clothes are required!

This is a group, not a live class. Learners are here to do things on their own schedule, some may do all the challenges, post updates on their pets, and comment on everything, while others might read everything but never comment, and some might do a bit of both... all is ok. Just be yourself and have some fun. Comment and encourage others in the group and remember the you participate, the more fun it will be for everyone!

🔵Posting Information:

You are more than welcome to create your own post for others to comment on, but learner posts will be at the bottom of the page. This is to help keep the page tidy and the different country's challenges and posts together. 

While posting is an option, I encourage learners to comment on my posts unless they are wanting to create their own challenges, and I ask that you please only start a new thread if it is one of the following...
▪ A challenge related to a country (something others can do too)
▪ A recipe from a country (and please include the country on the post)
▪ A fun or interesting fact about a country

I will have "open" posts for learners to post on. Examples include...
▪ Post a picture of a place you have always wanted to visit
▪ Tell the group about a fun trip you went on
▪ What are your favorite foods to eat

This will allow everyone to connect and share about things outside of topic and give learners a place to put their creative ideas, pictures, and more... without having 300 post threads about mac and cheese. 

This doesn't mean that you can chat with each other, it just means that the actual post threads should stay related to the group, however, you can chat in the comments about soccer, Roblox, Minecraft, or whatever you'd like (as long as it is appropriate). 

If you have any questions, please let me know by sending me a private message!
