Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a whimsical tale about a young boy named Charlie, who leads a humble life with his family and dreams of one day visiting Willy Wonka’s extraordinary chocolate factory. Will Charlie’s wish come true? Join me as we journey through this magical story filled with quirky characters and delightful destinations.

This class is designed to enhance your child’s reading comprehension, vocabulary, literary analysis, character exploration, and social interaction skills.

In each lesson, we will review new vocabulary, compare Charlie’s life to our own, and analyze the unique personalities of the characters in depth. Students will be expected to read approximately 10 pages daily outside of class and come prepared to discuss the assigned text. If time permits, we may also read aloud or along during class, but this will remain optional.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I hold a bachelor’s degree in special education, along with additional training in teaching the arts and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). With over 20 years of experience working with children, I’ve been a certified teacher, a homeschool mom, and an educator for diverse age groups and subjects. My teaching background spans from severe-profound special education preschool to honors high school, but my greatest passion lies in the arts and creative education. I specialize in drawing, brick building, elementary literacy, special education, and baking—I even own a small bakery!

Art has always been close to my heart, and I love exploring various mediums, including drawing, paper crafts, oil paints, and acrylics. Art is not just a form of expression but also a way to build creativity and confidence. In my teaching, I focus on developing skills, exploring techniques, and inspiring others to find joy in creating unique works of art.

Reading and writing are equally important to me. I enjoy delving into different genres and using storytelling to spark imagination. Teaching literacy allows me to help students express themselves while building essential skills. My goal is to make reading exciting and writing an empowering form of creativity.

Baking is another passion I’m thrilled to share. Teaching baking classes allows me to bring people together through the joy of creating something delicious. From learning essential techniques to exploring creative recipes, I strive to make every class approachable, fun, and rewarding.

Outside the classroom, my husband and I enjoy adventures with our three children, whether camping, hiking, visiting the park, doing arts and crafts, or playing board games as a family.

I can’t wait to bring creativity and joy to our class—see you soon!
