Spring and summer are a time of going on adventures, often outside. Have you ever taken your learner camping? In this class, we will explore different aspects of camping, including camping safety, animals we might encounter, activities we do while camping, nature, and more. We will incorporate songs, stories, fingerplays, crafts and other thematic activities. Some of the crafts can even be used in some imaginative play after class is over! Warning: your learner might want to go on a camping trip when class is done! Every class will start with an introduction question and each class will involve a craft. Necessary supplies can be found in the learner supply list! Here is a breakdown of what activities we will cover each week: Week One: A Camping We Will Go Song Pack the backpack activity (What do we need to go camping?) Paint with Nature Materials Storytime Week Two: Camper Math activity (How many campers can fit in each tent?) Exploring different kinds of camping (tent, RV, different locations, etc) Camping collage (using materials found in nature) Storytime Week Three: Five Little Bear Cubs Fingerplay Binoculars craft Animals we might see while camping and their tracks Storytime Week Four: Tent Color Matching activity Campfire safety Building a campfire craft Storytime I hope your learner can join me for this fun class where we can learn and be inspired to play!

Teacher expertise and credentials
**Update: I am taking a hiatus from Outschool as I take care of some personal matters. Thank you to all of the learners and their families who have spent time with me learning and having fun.**
Hello everyone! My name is Miss April and I am so excited to be a part of the Outschool community! Here you will find that I love to have fun, be silly, and make learners laugh - all while learning at the same time. We do lots of crafts and hands-on activities while practicing math, literacy, and even social skills! I love hosting read alouds and book clubs for learners of all ages. I strive to engage a variety of learning styles and to create space for learners to interact with each other.
My background includes:
- Teaching Preschool at a brick and mortar school
- Serving families as a nanny: One child I cared for needed more structure and she was a little learning sponge so I created an at-home thematic curriculum that followed her interests, sparked a love of learning and reading and set her up for success at school! I also worked as a nanny when Covid shut down schools and was able to create play-based academic activities to keep those learning muscles working!
- Working in student ministry with learners grades 6-12
- Teaching ESL classes online, including a TESOL certification
All of these experiences have helped me grow in my passion for nurturing, empowering and educating learners of all ages.
Some fun things about me include:
1. I used to work at The Disney Store (and it was so much fun - I love Disney).
2. Eyeshadow palettes are a weakness of mine.
3. I have developed a love for birthday cake Oreos.
4. I have 2 kiddos.
5. I want to read all of the books and visit all of the places (let me know your favorite vacation destination when you enroll in a class)!
I cannot wait to meet you!
