What's included
1 live meeting
40 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Students will learn how to cut various items from paper using folding and symmetry, but not using stencils. We will cover three basic mini-projects—paper chains, simple shapes, and basic alphabet lettering. This will be a relaxed, hands-on session. We plan to smile, laugh, and be ok with mistakes! No previous experience is required, but you will need lots of paper—printer paper, construction paper, or maybe even some wrapping paper you have lying around—some good scissors, and a smile! Please bring a pencil or pen as well. A ruler may be helpful. “The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.“ —Plutarch

Hello! My name is Kathleen M, but everyone calls me Miss Kathleen. All of my classes are safe and inclusive places for all learners.
Teaching is my job, but it’s also my favorite thing ever! I have taught everything from dance, to sign language, to English as a second language, and my students range in age from toddlers to adults. My degrees are in early childhood education and performing arts, I have a TESOL certificate, and I am proud to say that I was chosen as Teacher of the Year while working as a pre-kindergarten teacher. Recently, I have enjoyed homeschooling my own kids, and volunteering as a sign language interpreter at our church.
I believe that teaching is about creating a rapport between student and teacher, and that by forming positive relationships we can pave the way for creative learning and achievement. Learning should always be fun, and any subject is rich with lessons that connect to life in many ways.
When I am not teaching, I love gardening, playing games, and going to the ocean with my family and our little rescue dog. Hope to see you soon! :)--Miss KathleenReviews
