While there's no *actual* homework, I bet you'll be making more of these for your family and friends!Class Experience
It's that time of year! Time for family gatherings and beautiful decorations! Let's make a dazzling Christmas wreath that's perfect to welcome your holiday guests into your warm and inviting home. It's so much fun, you'll probably end up making more for your family and friends! (I did!!) We'll need only 3 items for this delightful craft: 1) a wire coat hanger 2) a large container of round, shatter-proof Christmas ornaments 3) a strand of garland. That's it! Details for these items are listed under "supplies." (The class listing sample is pictured with these optional supplies: large, wired ribbon for bow and smaller ornaments to accent with. If you use the optional, smaller ornaments, you'll need a glue gun to position and attach them correctly.) To make the craft, we will meet together with our supplies ready and make our wreath together. There is no pre-recorded part to this class; it's all live! What color scheme will you choose? There are so many great options! Consider these: 1) the colors of you family's special holiday, 2) your sports team's colors, 3) colors to complement your outdoor decorations Note: I find my large tubs of shatterproof ornaments, garland, complementary smaller ornaments, and wired ribbon at Hobby Lobby. Other stores worth checking out are Michael's, Target, Lowe's, Walmart, and Dollar Tree. This class will vary in length depending on several factors such as student pacing and learner preparedness. We'll never rush the class, so please be aware that it may be slightly shorter or slightly longer than the time listed.

Hello! My name is Katie Spitler, and I love teaching! I have a degree in music education and have been a teacher for over 20 years. I have been homeschooling my own children for 13 years, and prior to that I have worked as an elementary, middle school, and high school teacher for multiple subjects including music, English, math, and history. ASL is another favorite subject of mine, and I have enjoyed many years of working with the Deaf. We'll laugh and enjoy our class time, while also making learning top priority.
