Class Experience
Hello families, and welcome to my Edible Creations FLEX class! This class is a fun, hands-on, and delicious experience! Using food, we will create unique pieces of art to eat! I understand that learners are from different countries all around the world. Feel free to make substitutions if there are food items you cannot find in your country. Most important: BE CREATIVE and HAVE FUN!! Here's what to expect from my FLEX class: - I will post a class video every Monday morning EST. Your learner has one week to watch and make the edible creation of the week. Please post pictures of your finished creations in our classroom so that we can all admire your child's work! :-) - I will post book suggestions to go along with what we are making each week. Some books can be found on EPIC Books and some are not there. Hopefully between EPIC, your local library, and your home library you can find most of the books that I recommend, or similar ones. The students can read the books themselves or a parent or sibling can read to them. The idea is that the student will learn more about the animal or object that they are building that week. - Since we will not be meeting live in real time, it makes show-and-tell time a bit challenging, however we will still have it! :-) I love show-and-tell time and I will mention it in each video. I will show something that goes along with the class and then I will ask students to type in the classroom about something, or post a picture of something special they want to share with the class. Weekly Breakdown: Week 1: Theme - Dinosaur Waffles We will be decorating waffles to look like dinosaurs, ROAR! Do you know any cool dinosaur facts? Share what you know about dinosaurs! If you have EPIC Books or you want to look for them at the library, check out these books: National Geographic Readers: Dinosaurs, by: Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld It's Amazing! Dinosaurs, by: Annabel Savery Stegosaurus, by: Charles Lennie Supplies needed: - 3 Eggo frozen waffles - edible glue (peanut butter, Nutella, or cream cheese) - fruit such as blueberries, strawberries - mini marshmallows or small pieces of cheese (legs) Week 2: Theme - Emoji Waffles We will be decorating waffles to look like emojis! EPIC Books has a great series of books called "Emoji Emotions". Check it out! They are Level A Readers. Supplies needed: - 3 Eggo frozen waffles - edible glue (peanut butter, Nutella, or cream cheese) - fruit such as banana, blueberries, strawberries - chocolate chips - Hershey kisses - 12 mini marshmallows Week 3: Theme - Cat & Bear Rice Cakes We will be creating an edible cat and bear! Then the students will be challenged to create one more animal with the ingredients they have! There are many books about cats and bears. You probably have some at your home. I want to suggest these on EPIC: I See Animals: Cat, by: August Hoeft I See Animals: Bear, by: August Hoeft Supplies needed: - 3 rice cakes - 6 strawberries - 10 pretzel sticks - 10 blueberries or something else to represent eyes - 1 banana - peanut butter (or another edible glue) Week 4: Theme - Caterpillar Do you have the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by: Eric Carle? If not, try to check it out at the library. Let's compare what real caterpillars eat with what the caterpillar in the book ate. Supplies needed: - 1 large green apple or 2 small ones, or another fruit with green skin, such as green grapes (We will be cutting these up to make the body.) - 1 large strawberry or red apple (head) - about 12 raisins or 6 mini pretzel sticks (legs) - any small fruit or candies for the eyes - a round piece of carrot (sun) and other pieces of carrot that can be made into shredded pieces - spinach or salad (grass & leaves)

Parental Guidance
Students will need to use knives in this class. I try to remember to speak safety reminders in my videos, however, sometimes I forget to mention safety while I'm teaching. Please be close to your learner at all times and speak to your child about the knives they are allowed to use. Prior to taking this class, please practice cutting up fruit with them. Or if you prefer to sit beside them in class and cut the fruit for them, that is also acceptable.
Please also check over the supplies list and look at all the ingredients to ensure a safe kitchen experience. I realize that some students may be allergic to nuts, and therefore cannot use peanut butter. Please check all ingredients in the supplies list to check for possible allergens such as nuts, wheat, dairy, eggs, or soy.
I've listed books that are available on EPIC Books. https://www.getepic.com/promo
An EPIC account is not required for this class. Students certainly may check out books on the topic from the library instead of using EPIC. If you do decide to use EPIC, students may read one free book each day on a free account. If you want a one month free trial to Unlimited EPIC, I can provide that for you. With the Unlimited account, your child may read as many books as they want each day.

Master's Degree from Luther Rice College and Seminary
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Toccoa Falls College
Hello from the U.S.A.! Specializing in Quilling and Science classes, I offer a variety of one-time, multi-day, and ongoing classes. Graduating college with a degree in Early Childhood Education has allowed me to teach children, ages 4-12. My master's is in Counseling. I believe that the combination of my bachelor's and master's work, as well as my soft skills make me a patient, kind, and loving teacher.
The emotional well-being of students always comes first. I strive to give my learners an atmosphere where learning feels comfortable and never stressful. My experience as a mother of three has taught me much about how children learn best. I strive to provide exactly that perfect learning atmosphere in my online classes.
My strength areas are:
-Cross-Cultural Communication:
Having lived and traveled extensively abroad, I enjoy meeting and teaching students all over the world!
-S.T.E.A.M.:
I'm very passionate about S.T.E.A.M. education, especially Science and Art! These subjects are incorporated often into my classes.
-Scaffolding:
I constantly evaluate the progress of my students and adjust my teaching to meet their needs.
-Student Encouragement:
Celebrating wins with students is my delight! I want them to know that I am happy to help them learn and I want them to succeed!
My hobbies include kayaking, swimming, and quilling paper art. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family at Lake Hartwell, Georgia, U.S.A., where I live with my husband, three children, and our bordoodle Princess. I hope to teach your learner soon!Reviews
