Are you looking for a way to get your child writing? Does your child also enjoy making crafts? If so, this is the perfect class! Our class will focus on love monsters! Class will start with an introduction of names and a question of the day. We will then talk about Valentine's Day and things that we love. Then we will move into the craft portion of our class - making a love monster. During this craft, students can use their creativity to make their love monster however they want! We will look at a few sample ideas first. Once our crafts are finished, we will work on finishing the following sentence: "My love monster..." Each child will be encouraged to think about the personality of their love monster - what do they like? How do they feel? What do they enjoy doing? We will then use those things to finish the above sentence with a goal of writing to describe the love monster. I will provide support for stretching out words and sounds as well as letter formation as needed. I will also create my own answer to the question and write it out for learners to see. At the end of class, students will take turns being able to share their love monster and sentence with the class. I do my best to make sure class ends on time. If any additional time remains, students will participate in some easy, quick drawings. If your student is not finished at the end of class, he/she may choose to finish independently after class.
Learning Goals
Students will use fine motor and creativity skills when making their love monster. They will use literacy, language and writing skills as they write the sentence about their love monster. They will also use communication, listening and turn taking skills as students share their love monster and sentence.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Lauren and I am excited to be teaching here on Outschool! I am looking forward to teaching early childhood development classes - preschool math, literacy, social skills and more! I have worked with children/students of all ages. My primary focus is with young children as I have a bachelors degree in elementary education (prek - 4th) which I obtained through Grand Canyon University. I have spent the last 10 years working in an early childhood development center, primarily working with children ages 2-4. During these last 10 years I have developed and implemented curriculum across many content areas. Aside from teaching, I am a color guard instructor at both the middle and high school levels.
I think learning is all about having fun, especially with the younger children! My experience of running an early childhood classroom will aide me in providing fun and engaging lessons here on Outschool as well!
When I am not coaching or teaching, I am busy being a wife and a mom! My husband and I have a seven year old son who is currently in second grade and an infant daughter. My older son is very involved in sports, which means I am too! I also enjoy reading, journaling, and watching tv.
I look forward to meeting and working with many young children on this journey!
