In the Maker Monday Club, students will be given a mini challenge that can be done in one class period. During each class, students will need to look at required materials, think through the guidelines and plan out what they want to create. They will be asked to sketch their idea on a piece of paper or in a notebook. As the student creates the project, they are expected to make changes to improve their idea. At the end of class, students will share their final product with the class and tell what changes they made. A final product does not have to be a finished one, or maybe it is even a failure. The process is what is important in Maker Monday and realizing that we can learn from frustrations, failures and mistakes. Class 1- Box top from a shoebox, or gift box or shallow shipping box. A size that is comfortable to hold, no smaller then 8 inches in length, 3-4 toilet paper rolls, or 1-2 paper towel rolls, a marble or small ball that can pass through a toilet paper roll, markers, glue, tape, paper, scissors and a pencil. Class 2- About 6 pieces of construction paper, all the same size, scissors, tape, glue, a tape measure, and piece of paper and a pencil. Class 3-Gum Drops and 100 tooth picks. In my experience, Dots do not work. Also bring a paper and pencil. Class 4-About 100 straws, tape, a piece of paper and a pencil.

I have been teaching on Outschool since April of 2020 and am an elementary school educator who knows how to create hands on activities which empower thriving children of all ages.
I specialize in providing a vast variety of hands on activities that promote the value of social and emotional intelligence as well as the importance of showing children their potential. There is not always a right answer in learning, children thrive in all different ways and I find great joy in helping them discover their gifts and talents.
Over the course of 25 years in the classroom, I have taught 1st grade, kindergarten through 3rd grade media literacy classes, and kindergarten through 5th grade computer application classes. I have also tutored kindergarten through 5th grade students in all subject areas and am TESOL certified. I am an advocate for children and believe in helping them to reach their potential, while understanding all of our minds think differently. Being able to discover how each person finds success is such a gift.
I am a proud owner of Boomer, my Labrador Retriever. He loves to be by me all the time and wants to be part of my teaching. Pets bring such joy and unconditional love, that it just seems natural to involve him in my classes. He has a lot to teach and learn!Reviews
