Calling all fans of SIMS, Monopoly, and the Game of Life! Welcome to our Adulting 101 club where everyone learns how to survive life through virtual simulation. In this ongoing class, students will get an opportunity to practice basic life concepts in a safe and secure environment. 

In this ongoing class, students will learn basic adulting skills that are needed for everyday life through virtual play. Not only will we talk about how to do things like banking, budgeting, filing taxes, buying houses, applying for jobs, and so on but we will practice them in class, so students will get the opportunity to master the concepts before adventuring out on their own.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Grand Valley State University
Hello!

I am an art and English educator with a passion for writing, drawing, anime, watercolor, music, and language. I have a bachelors in art education and a secondary education minor in English. I have been a working with students since 2011 and have been an art teacher since 2014. My main specialty is integrating different types of subject matter and technology into my lesson plans, in an effort to offer homeschool families an opportunity to teach their students minimum state standards at home. 

In my lessons you should expect to see an integration of art and other subject matter, a step by step drawing tutorial, how to references, educational YouTube videos and exciting fun facts about what is being drawn. 

In my classroom your student should expect to experience a safe and welcoming environment where everyone can take risks without judgement or worry and all questions are welcome. Building your student's confidence and self esteem is my top priority. Students from all levels and backgrounds should expect to feel welcome in our classroom.

When I am not teaching I am spending time with my daughter, writing, listening to music or exploring the world via travel. My favorite things to do are draw, write books and cook.
