This fun and interactive class was created as highly engaging class intended for fun socialization and enjoyable reading comprehension. During our time together each learner will be encouraged to take the spot light to introduce themselves to the other learners and chat with Miss Anna. This makes it great for kiddos who love the spotlight as well as kids who are new to virtual learning and need some practice speaking in a small group setting. Kiddos are encouraged to bring a reading buddy (stuffed animal) along with them to story time to cuddle with while we read our book together to introduce to the class as well! This silly story time and dance party is meant to help improve reading comprehension through active participation while engaging in fun socialization with me and the other learners. Letting the kids take an opportunity to introduce themselves, answer some Q & A’s about the story and enjoy a dance party afterwards makes this the perfect combo of entertaining and engaging for all the pup lovers out there.....big or small! * While Miss Anna’s fun and lively dance parties tend to bring out the Tiny Dancer in all of us, we please ask that all adults enjoy the story time and dance party out of the view of the camera to comply with Outschool Safety Guidelines. :)

Parental Guidance
Children may need help adjusting the camera, muting and unmuting, or finding a quiet space with enough room to dance safely.
* Parents please plan to be in the same room with your child, while remaining out of view of your child camera.
This will be helpful incase you child needs help with any of these things to ensure they get the most out of their experience!
*Per Outschool’s Safety Policy no adults can be visible on a child’s camera. Please be aware that Teachers are instructed to turn off a childs camera if an adult appears on screen.

👩💻As a person who believes in practicing what they preach, I continue to attend regular conferences & professional development opportunities several times a year to continue to learn new ways to provide enriching learning experiences for all of the children who visit my virtual classroom.
-What YOU can expect in my classes!
😜 I am an highly experienced, passionate, upbeat, and quite honestly.... pretty silly teacher here on Outschool! I love using humor to help kids enjoy learning.
🥰 I lead all of my classes with humor, kindness, and positive vibes to promote a warm and welcoming space in my virtual classroom for kids to enjoy confidently socializing together.
👩🏫 I have utilized 15 years of teaching instruction and child mentorship experience to hone my craft which is……helping kids enjoy learning while building confidence in their abilities through FUN play-based learning.
-What Your Kiddos Can Expect In My Classes!
🎉 I utilize my own unique play-based learning strategies and techniques in ALL of my classes to help keep kids focused and having fun while learning during our time together.
🤩 I am happy to offer fun and educational play-based learning classes and friendship clubs for kids ages 3 - 18 where they can feel free to be themselves and let their unique personality shine as I shower them with lots of positive attention as we learn, laugh, and play together.
🏆In all of my classes and clubs, kids will always be provided with the opportunity to practice and improve important life skills through carefully chosen games and / or activities.
-Communication Is So Important To Me!
🗣️ I make it a priority to keep an open line of communication with all the families who attend my ongoing classes on a weekly basis by replying to emails within 12 - 24 hours, in addition to sending out weekly updates to all the families in my ongoing classes too!
🤩Also, you can now go ahead and download the Outschool App. for parents on your smart phone to get lightning fast alerts right to you home screen when I send you an email regarding your child!

-Quality & Inclusivity
🙂 As a life long learner and kid at heart, every single club or class I offer utilizes my own unique style of play-based learning to give kids the opportunity to truly feel seen & heard while practicing important life skills while we chat, play and learn.
✨ Each of the classes, clubs and courses that I offer are built upon my personal strengths and interests......In other words, I teach what I know a lot about because I am truly passionate about the subject.
🥰 I strongly believe when a teacher is just as passionate about a topic as the students we ALL have a more fun and enriching experience together that helps create memories and learning experiences that last a lifetime.
😃 I make sure all of my classes are ESL & Neurodiverse friendly by meeting each student where they are in their learning journey and allowing students to participate as much or as little as they feel comfortable while they practice their emerging skills in our immersive classroom dynamic.
😍 I also provide private ( one on one ) sessions by request for children who could benefit from some personalized attention while having fun working on a variety of social and emotional, confidence building, public speaking and life skills as well.
-What I do and why....
🤩 I have utilized my 15 years of experience teaching a variety of enrichment classes like Music, P.E., and Literature (Library) classes to create my unique educational play-based classes for your kiddos to enjoy. I have found the transition from teaching in a traditional classroom setting to a virtual setting to be a wonderful experience for both me and my students. I have currently taught over 1000 classes on Outschool and plan to teach a lot more here too!
🥳 I lead each of my classes with an upbeat attitude while putting out positive vibes to encourage students to do the same! Kids in my classes get 110% of my energy and attention as I do my absolute best to try and make every child feel truly seen and heard each day we get together in my virtual classroom.
🎙 You will find that each of my classes are designed to be very inclusive which typically includes a smaller amount of learners so every kiddo gets the chance to talk and share their thoughts during our time together.
-Some more about me....
🥰I am a momma to a sweet and silly 11 year old boy with ADHD and A Giant Heart who I love to go on adventures with!
When I am not out adventuring or playing with my kiddo, I am usually teaching a class or leading a friendship club here to the kids I like to call my Outschool Family🥰.
🤪 Our home is full of impromptu dance parties, silly shenanigans and a deep appreciation for nature and trying to preserve it for future generations to enjoy!
🍁 I love incorporating teachable moments into my own child's everyday life through stories, nature walks, songs, and playful learning activities just as I do in my virtual classroom.
😜 Even as an adult playing with kiddos and being silly is still one of my favorite things to do! That's why each of the classes I personally design and offer here on Outschool are done with playful learning in mind!
👩🏫 You will find that many of my classes are focused on fun and engaging lessons with lots of opportunities for kids to talk, make real friends, practice socialization skills and have positive experiences while learning important life skills.
🥳 I strive to offer fun and enriching classes to make kids screen time meaningful and enjoyable while spending time together.
Every child in my special friendship clubs are given the opportunity to create real connections with other kids as I help them foster true friendships.
💻 I want every child to feel comfortable sharing with us, and would be happy to take an extra moment of my time to help students learn the ropes of how to operate the Zoom functions if they are new to Outschool classes.
🥺 The Covid 19 pandemic has left many children seeking connection, confidence building, and the need to polish their social skills they need to make and keep friends….and I am happy to say my classes were specifically crafted to fill that need for families!
- Why I can't wait to meet your awesome learner!
🥰 I genuinely enjoy getting to know every child I spend time with in classes and truly cherish each meaningful connection that we make while spending time together. I am looking forward to meeting your awesome learner and sharing some laughs together very soon!
- 💰 How I price my classes -
Providing a safe, inviting, and a fun atmosphere for kids to enjoy is my highest priority.
Above all else, I want kids experiences in my classes and clubs to be a very inclusive and engaging one, this is why I keep my classes smaller than lots of the other classes on Outschool.
I offer a variety of small class sizes based on kids ages to give each learner more attention, which means more opportunities to share their thoughts with me and the rest of the class for a more interactive experience.
Keeping my play-based learning and life skills class sizes on the smaller side ensures each child gets a more interactive and engaging experience during our time together.
My class prices reflect the extra time children get to spend feeling truly seen & heard in my virtual classroom by keeping my classes rather small. 🥰
🤞Do I have a waiting lists for my sold out class times?
YES! I have several class times for each of my weekly friendships clubs that I currently run that are sold out.
In the event that a class or club you are interested in has no seats available, I am happy to say that you can join the waitlist and get notified when a seat opens up!
When a seat opens up in class, those who are on the class waiting list will be notified by Outschool to let you know a spot has become available.
🧐How Does Pausing A Class Work?
- In 2023 families on Outschool began having the ability to pause their class enrollments if needed, in the hopes their seat will be available when they return.
It is a fantastic feature for families that need to take extended breaks from class, however because my classes often sell out...please know that if you choose to pause for one or two weeks while away on vacation this feature will automatically give other families the opportunity to enroll and take the empty seat while you are away. (Including those on the waiting list who have been eager to find a seat in a class.)
This simply means the only way to guarantee your child keeps their seat in class while your family in on vacation is to stay enrolled when they are away.
(Much like we do when our kiddos are enrolled in IN PERSON enrichment activities like Sports Teams, Swim Practice, Gymnastics, Coding Camps...etc.)
The wonderful thing about the "Pause" feature is that if you do need to take a break from class for an extended period of time... WHEN / IF there is a spot available when you want to return, you will be automatically re-enrolled and given a seat if the class is not sold out. ALSO, pausing a class will LOCK YOU into to a class subscription rate while your away, and if the price increases due to a teachers costs of living increasing while you are gone, YOUR price will stay the same.
😁 What kind of other services I offer through Outschool…
I also offer Self-Paced Learning Courses where I spend 2 weeks conceptualizing and creating life skills & science courses for kids and thier families to enjoy by preparing pre-recorded lessons for children to learn at their own pace like:
✅Anatomy & Physiology for Young Learners
✅Intro. To Babysitting
✅Advanecd Babysitting Techniques
✅Preparing To Be A New Big Sister or Brother
✅Dating Related Education & Etiquette For Teens and PreTeens
✅ Cool & Exciting Dinosaur Facts and More!
I also offer a variety of different options for private class buyouts and exclusive VIP packages that Schools, Girl Scout troops and Families can reserve too.
Outschool proudly accepts many Charter School Funds, ESA Funds, and other types of grants / funds that qualifying families are able to use towards Live and Self Paced Style classes.
I am able to accept requests for group / class buyouts with Girl Scout Troops and Schools with at least one weeks advanced notice as well.
