Crafty Kids: A Social Arts and Crafts Club!

Each week students will do a different craft, most of the crafts are made using household and recyclable materials. I will post a list of materials in the classroom a minimum of 2 weeks in advance and will suggest alternatives when applicable. 

The classes are interactive, and students have ample opportunity to interact with both the teacher and their peers. I tend to do an icebreaker activity at the beginning of class whether that is in the form of a short game, video clip, or a question of the day. I make it a priority that all students feel comfortable and heard. Students may be asked to mute themselves while I am explaining how to do the activities but otherwise may remain unmuted. Overall, my teaching style can be described as animated and enthusiastic. 

I will give students step-by-step instructions on how to complete the activity however I encourage students to be creative and make each project their own. No prior experience is necessary, just an interest in arts and crafts!
