Knitting is such a fun and relaxing activity. I find it is a great way to relieve stress. In this class, you will learn the basics of knitting. Week 1 will cover casting on. I will teach you different ways to cast on. If students are able to learn how to cast on quickly, we will start working on the basic stitch. During week 2 we will practice the basic stitch. Finally, on week 3 we will learn how to cast off. I will demonstrate how to do each step and then ask the students to show me as they try and answer any questions they may have. I will also share videos of the process from the knitter's point of view. No experience needed, just willingness to learn and make mistakes. Knitting requires fine motor skills and it is easy to make mistakes. Perseverance is a must. If you make a mistake, just be ready to try again. You can do this! I want you go get the most of this class, so if you need extra help, all you have to do is ask.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the basics of knitting - casting on, stitch, and casting off.

Texas Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of Alabama at Birmingham
Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to visit my virtual classroom. I am a certified teacher offering classes in Spanish, English as a Second Language, Reading, and elementary school subjects and crochet. If you would like me to work with your child, please don't hesitate to reach out! I look forward to meeting you and your child.
When I was in high school, I had an opportunity to internship at an elementary school and from that moment I fell in love with education. I went on to get my degree in Elementary Education from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and have been teaching ever since. I started out in the regular elementary classroom and then had opportunities to teach Spanish, Reading and English as a Second Language.
I love helping children grow as learners. It gives me great joy to see them learn and achieve their goals. There is nothing better than working with a struggling reader and hearing them say "I can read this!" I believe that children learn best when they are having fun, and feel safe. It is my goal to make each child feel this way. I want them to know that they matter to me.
I was born in Venezuela and moved to the states at the age of 10. This has helped me connect with my ESL students in the past because I understand what they are going through. In Venezuela they speak Spanish, which is why I feel comfortable teaching Spanish to young learners. I have 3 kids and I decided to work from home so that I could enjoy as much of my time with them as possible. Time flies and I want to continue working in education and encouraging children to find a love of learning.Reviews
