Class Experience

This is an ongoing class!  FEEL FREE COME AND GO AS YOU CHOOSE!   

Every week we will learn about a make a historical, modern or season craft

Historical:  We will learn about when that craft originated in history including time period, language and common toys.

Modern:  We will learn how to make the craft and how it is used. 

Seasonal:  We will learn about the seasons and weather.  We will learn what season the craft represents. 

Parental assistance for craft making may be needed with younger children.  This is up to the discretion of the parent.  I will announce the craft to the enrolled learners 1 week before each session so that materials can be gathered.  I will give information about where to buy the materials for each craft. 

Craft choices will include the following:

Corn husk dolls (boys and girls)
Clothes for corn husk dolls
yarn dolls (boys and girls)
Washer game 
Nine Men's Morris board game
Origami
Crafts with nature (leaves, twigs, egg paint)
finger knitting craft
crafts with dried flowers
and much more!

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile! 

I am so excited to teach at Outschool! 

I have been teaching as a homeschool mom and for private companies for several years. I have experience teaching in-person and on-online classes.  In the private sector, I taught English grammar and writing at the middle school level. I have also led students in elementary aged science, math, history, latin, fine arts, and ESL both for private companies and as a homeschool mom for 12 years. 

I have a Bachelor Fine Arts in Acting  and have participated in and coached competitive speech.  I have also taught and directed theatre for children and adolescents.  “Charlotte’s Web”, “The Suessified Christmas Carol” and the musical version of “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” are among the most recent plays I have directed. 

I  also hold a Masters in Social Work and worked as a clinical therapist and social worker for children, adolescents, and adults in inpatient and outpatient settings.  I have worked extensively with persons of diverse cultures and also persons whose life experiences have been marginalized. I have worked in advocacy, case management and as a therapist. 

I am a Classical educator.  I teach the fundamentals of the subject and then move forward into an energetic dialogue with my students!  I know my students have come to the rhetorical phase of learning and have mastered a concept when they can teach me!  I have a passion for keeping my classes engaging. I strive to foster a love for learning that lasts a life time!  I hope to see your learners in class!
