1 hour per week. Students will have various tasks each week as they work towards creating their own cupcake business.Class Experience
This class is a creative, theme based class in which we will utilize a fun project (designing a cupcake shop) to explore topics such as creating a budget, making advertising plans, accounting for expenses, researching recipes (and even baking your recipe for homework if so desired!), planning business hours, and more. Students will receive a unit packet they can print out for use as I guide them each week through various topics of discussion for their business. Each week, students will be tasked with various components of their shop. Topics will include making their own business cards and flyers, creating a business name and logo, thinking through menu items, discussing different types of businesses and locations (like a physical location vs. a home based cottage bakery), researching costs, and even baking a batch of cupcakes (or their chosen treat). Students will have creative freedom with this project, meaning they can do anything from hand drawing their flyers to typing them up in resource apps like Canva. Each student will be encouraged to create, build, and dream in a way that is natural and enjoyable for them. This class is open to all children ages 10-15, and no experience is required.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there! My name is Jessica, and I am a homeschooling mom to four children. I have worked with preschool and kinder aged children for over 15 years, and have done everything from running a preschool center, teaching classes, and designing curriculums for use by others. I also owned my own music business for a few years, teaching children 6 months-5 years the foundational aspects of music. I will offer your young children active, engaging, and fun classes on a variety of topics!
I have my black belt in mma (mix of Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, American Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), as well as a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu, and regularly teach classes to everyone from toddlers to adults. I love helping children make a connection between fitness/health and fun by making workouts a fun experience rather than one to dread.
I am a certified group fitness instructor, and carry an additional certification as a Youth Exercise Specialist. I love helping teens and preteens explore how they can be strong, healthy, and active individuals. I hope to give your teenaged children, whether they are active athletes or not, a great workout through a variety of offerings for fitness, strength, agility, etc.
I have a personal love for financial responsibility. Although I run several websites, I especially enjoy running my site dedicated to helping others how to live debt free and financially wise lives. I love teaching children about entrepreneurship and money matters through fun thematic units such as “building their own cupcake shop”, to help them understand money in a practical, meaningful, way.
I hope that my experience in these areas, as well as my background and love for teaching children will lead to inspiring classes that your children leave feeling accomplished, encouraged, and eager to come back for more!
