Drop in Story-Time

I am a home-school mom of two (5th grade and 10th grade!), who loves to teach (and learn!) through creative means! We are always learning visually, tactically, and kinetically!! I love to teach Math using manipulatives, Science through crafts and experiments, Language Arts with toys, etc! 

I have a background in education, and believe in Student Directed Learning. I feel students who are given the opportunity to lead their learning style, will grasp the concepts faster and comprehend the material better! This is why my teaching style allows for visual, auditory, tactile, and kinetic learning!

My love for teaching stems from a family of teachers! Growing up with both grandparents and parents who were teachers instilled a love of learning creatively in me!! When I became a mother, I knew I would enjoy teaching my own children! It has been very rewarding to teach my two children for the last 3 years! However, I firmly believe that even home school students should have interaction with other children. When we joined a co-op of other home-schoolers I was quickly asked to teach! The joy I get from creating fun lessons for others children, and the look on their faces when they grasp a concept furthers my love of teaching! I have taught language arts, geography, cultural studies, and art in a large group setting! 

 If your child learns best in this teaching style, feel free to recommend a subject matter and I am happy to plan a class around your child :) I am also flexible in planning around times and dates, some students learn different subjects best at different times! My children love to start their morning with Math, and during the afternoon slump do a fun science experiment! Every learner is different, so don't hesitate to ask for a different time! 

I look forward to teaching, and learning from your students!
