ASL 101: A crash course on silent communication
2nd session
Deaf, hard of hearing, and mute people communicate with the world a bit differently. Here in the USA/Canada they use ASL: American Sign Language.
I'm here to teach the same way you learn a language it's 100% in ASL visually with supplemental information in the chat and on slides. Basically, I will not be speaking at all. Don't worry though! This is the best way to learn.
**I am deaf but I will be able to hear you, so if you ask questions on the mic I can respond**
We'll cover the ASL alphabet, number system and basic conversational signs! 🤟

Sessions might not be hosted every day but we will put in as much as we can, and due to multiple co-hosts, the session time will not always be the same.
If you guys have any questions about any homework, feel free to directly message us or other attendees in the chat for help!
Feel free to put the things you are looking forward to getting done at the beginning of the session and update us if you managed to complete them at the end.
We will be accepting music suggestions!
*NOTE: Turning your camera on would be preferred; this series is intended for us to get our tasks done. We will be accountable to each other and ensure we are getting what we need to be done!

Abstract Algebra Crash Course
12th session
We'll take a brief look at one of the first courses you will take in university if you would like to become a math major. We will begin with the fundamentals—learning some basic set theory, working with complex numbers, and setting the definitions of rings and fields. Then we'll prove some intuitive things that we know about number theory and modular arithmetic (i.e. working with remainders). From there we will generalize our methods to other areas, such as doing "number theory" and "modular arithmetic" with polynomials and much more!
No calculus knowledge is necessary for this series; however, high-school Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 are necessary.
(BTW do you know that this series would be called "Algebra 1" in university?? 😂😜)

Spanish for Beginners and Intermediate Learners!
Starts
Hello Everyone! Are you planning on taking Spanish next year? If so, then this is the place for you! In this session, we will be working on grammar, speaking, listening, and reading in Spanish! There will be two types of sessions: one for beginners and one for intermediate students.
Beginners: Beginner students will be able to get a thorough insight into the Spanish curriculum. Beginners will work on the present tense, basic grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening, and, at the end of the series, we will try some speaking. Your meetings will be on Saturdays for 1 hour.
Intermediate: Intermediate students are expected to know the present tense and basic vocab words. We will be working on different tenses such as: the preterite, imperfect, present subjunctive & the future tense. Additionally, we will be doing reading, grammar, writing, listening, and speaking during our sessions. You meetings will be on Sundays for 1 hour.
NOTE: I would like to let all the learners know that I will be speaking in Spanish throughout all our sessions. This may seem intimidating, but it is a great way to learn!

Reading and Discussion Group
6th session
Hi, everyone! This series is a fun opportunity to explore different genres of literature. We will meet monthly to hold discussions and participate in various activities. The reading material and activities will be chosen to accommodate busy schedules (no worries about long novels or time-consuming activities). Reading material will be provided digitally for your convenience as well! :)
Frequency/length of meetings:
- At least once a month (open to change).
- I want this to be relaxing and flexible: even just 30-40 minutes works!
- Send messages in the group chat when you are finished reading or are prepared to meet, that way meeting times can be adjusted.
I would like to hear all your suggestions!
I have two main goals: everyone is comfortable with the reading material and has access to it (free online PDFs, ideally).

International Homeschoolers Hangout!
8th session
(Notice: This series might close down, or it will continue in July.)
Welcome to the den of homeschoolers all around the world! Join us as we lurk about in our parents' basements, lament to our stuffed toys about being cooped up in the house, and hiss aggressively at regular school-goers as they pass by. We might occasionally play some games, too...but unfortunately, our 'utter lack of social skills will keep us from making friends'. Oh no, what a shame. :/
Okay okay, I'll stop with the jokes now. :)
Every week, we'll hang out, play group games, and discuss a different aspect of homeschooling based on how it works in our country/situation. We'll have games such as Draw Battle, Among Us, Gartic Phone, and more!
In this series there will be no school-going kids allowed to join. (except for all the school-going kids that will be allowed to join)
