Fall Art Class: Real Pumpkin Painting

INTRODUCTION

In this class, we will paint pumpkins and discuss how pumpkins grow and the many different ways people choose to cook and eat this delectable fall vegetable!

Your kids will be excited to see how they can create unique designs for their pumpkins.

This class is the perfect complement to your child's FALL studies!

MATERIALS NEEDED

1. small pumpkin
2. newspaper and paper towels
3. acrylic paint (whatever colors your learner wants to use) **parental advisory may be necessary while using acrylic paints because they stain any fabric they touch!**

5. paintbrushes (one brush for every color your child wants to use)
6. old t-shirt or paint smock (to protect your child's clothing while painting)

CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS & OTHER INFORMATION

✔️ Students will be asked to raise their hands before asking questions or expressing themselves.  If I happen to miss that your child raised their hand, I am deeply sorry.  I do my very best to pay attention to each learner during class to call on them when they have something they want to share.  However, they may not be able to share every little thing! Our friends have SO MUCH to share and we don't have ample time for them to share everything.  BUT I encourage parents to send classroom messages if their learner has something they want to share with me.  I am always on alert for messages from my students and parents.

✔️ Students will also be muted at specific times during class time to cut back on background noises and to ensure every learner has the optimal learning experience with minimal sound distractions.  I will call on learners to unmute themselves to share something.  Parents are encouraged to teach their child how to unmute their microphone or the parent should be close by to help the child if need be.

✔️ All learners will be required to show themselves on camera at the beginning of class for me to verify them for the safety of all learners in the online classroom. 

✔️ Prepare a Dedicated Learning Space for your Child

Make sure your child is set up in a comfortable learning space where they also have room to get up from their seat to move around when needed.  Keep their space clear of distracting toys that will not be used during lesson time.  Make sure the space is clean and only contains the materials we will be using during class time together.

✔️ Familiarize Yourself with the Outschool Classroom

If this is your first class on Outschool, I encourage you to take a look around the classroom (after you enroll in the class) to see where things are before our first class together.  Make sure you are familiar with how to send me a private message and how to post publicly in the classroom (they are different!).  If you have any questions or concerns about any technical issues, please reach out to the Outschool Support Team who will be more than happy to help you get going and to answer your questions.

MORE ABOUT ME AND MY TEACHING STYLE

I am a highly energetic teacher! I love singing, dancing, and making my learners laugh.  My goal is to make class time engaging, interactive, and hands-on to give your learner the BEST learning experience.

I encourage parents to keep in contact with me via Outschool with any questions and concerns as it relates to their child's online experience in my classroom.  If your experience is anything but a perfect 10, please reach out to me before leaving a review so I can do my very best to resolve any issues or concerns related to my class and your child's learning experience.

If you would like to learn more about this class, please send me a message and I will promptly reply to your questions and concerns.

I look forward to meeting your learner in class!

Ms. Tessa
