US Grade Preschool - 1
What's small and hard and comes in a rainbow of colors? Hint, they hurt when you step on them. That's right, the little bricks that (almost) everyone across the globe loves. Creativity is a language that crosses language barriers.

In this one-time STEAM and ESL combo class, your learner will build friendships as well as their English conversation skills while they build with bricks. 

During these meetings, we will do brief introductions at the beginning. These introductions may include your name, where you're from (country), something you like...etc... 

Since this is a social class, the content will vary depending on the learners who are present so every class will be unique.

This class is taught in English but is meant to be an ESL class.

I feel that children should be encouraged to follow their passions. Children need to know that they can have what they want for their lives if they have the correct tools and motivation to get there. I hope to help build confidence in my students and to give them some of those tools. I also believe that not every child learns the same way. Education is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I look forward to helping your child learn how they learn.

While I offer an extensive collection of class content choices, my specialty is meeting students where they’re at and making the course material accessible to all students, regardless of the topic. I love to be silly with my students and encourage interaction in all of my classes. I want learners to feel at ease and safe to be themselves in my classroom. My small class sizes and relaxed, encouraging teaching style allow me to tailor my classes to each student’s needs and learning style, resulting in learners walking away from class confident and smiling.

 *If you don't see a time listed that works for you, please reach out. I am happy to add classes to accommodate students' schedules whenever I can. Thank you!*

Parental Guidance
Please make sure that your child has space to safely build. Also, if your learner requires supervision to play with bricks appropriately (ie. - Not stick it in their eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc…) please remain in the room as I will not be able to enforce safety through the computer.
Supply List
Bricks - Name brand or store brand is fine. As long as you have bricks to build with.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Southern New Hampshire University
I am a homeschooling mom of five kids, ranging in age from ten to nineteen. We are diving into our 6th year of homeschool and we love it. I have a passion for both education and creativity and I love combining the two whenever I can. When I'm not teaching (my kids or someone else's), I run a business based purely on creativity and art. 

Traveling (and 8 years of formal classes) gave me a handle on the Spanish language. I have a background in general education from 19 years of combined experience teaching in public and charter school settings, as well as tutoring one on one, ESL, and running various camps and activities. My experience ranges from childcare (infant) age all the way through high school age and includes work with neurodiverse and special needs students, as well as students with mental health issues.

I have a passion for, and educational background in Graphic Art/Design, however, my degrees are AA in Liberal Studies and a BA in General Studies with a concentration in Psychology. I am also TESOL certified.
