Welcome! During this one-month workshop, students will explore their imaginations through fun, thoughtful storytelling exercises! Each week, students will follow along to a pre-recorded video by me, at their own pace, learning tips, tricks, & tools to enhance their stories! Each story starter will get their imaginations stirring! In addition to the stories we'll be sharing, there will be journal prompts post to answer. I post prompts on Sunday mornings and encourage students to share their responses by the end of the week. A positive attitude, open-mind, and wild imagination are required :)
Learning Goals
My goal is to host a creative, fun, casual, social environment where students can use their creativity and foster a love for writing :)

Hello & Welcome!
🍎 My name is Mrs. Dee. I taught at the elementary level for several years before running my own professional photography business for over ten years. Since then, I have been raising my girls, homeschooling, and teaching virtually. I hold a BA in English Literature and have a passion for storytelling. Photography became an extension of that for me.
☕️ When I’m not reading or hanging out with my daughters and our pets (2 dogs + 2 cats), I enjoy traveling, blogging, photography, baking, and keeping my plants alive!
🌟 With guided instruction, I help students share their stories through creative writing, photography, and other creative avenues. My classroom is a FUN, engaging, comfortable space that welcomes creative thinking, connection, kindness, and questions. With a focus on the creative aspect, I aim to inspire a love of the little things in life through the arts and instill confidence along the way.Reviews
