In this one time class, we will use play-doh to work on our fine motor and social skills! There are so many different things kids can make with doh and this can help them also learn how to manipulate and use their hands to create things. These skills help them eventually do things like tie their shoes, brush their teeth, use a pencil, use scissors and so much more! We will help practice these skills in a fun and engaging way, with doh. We will also go over shapes and colors as we are building and creating. While creating fun shapes and objects, we will work on our social skills and talk all about what we are making. I like to encourage chatter and conversation, but will mute and unmute as necessary to teach certain skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello new friends! I am so excited to meet you and have you in my classroom! :) My name is Erin Purdie and I am a mother of three (Burton 7, Poppy 6, and Penelope 4) from Richmond, VA. I was an elementary and special education teacher for 5 years before leaving the classroom to stay at home with my babies. I taught self contained autism (in a 6th/7th grade setting), 6th, 4th, and kindergarten special education, and 4th grade general education.
I love being at home with my children and teaching them through play, movement, and games. We try to make "learning" as fun as possible, without even realizing we're learning :). I am excited to bring this into the outschool classroom by learning with toys, movement, and play in an energetic and fun way. Through teaching in the public school and playing with my own kids, I have developed a lot of fun ways to learn!
Being a librarian, I also love to read on my free time. My favorite book is "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!" by Mo Willems. My kids love anything by Sandra Boynton and the Pout Pout Fish books. I also enjoy following Jenna Bush Hager's book club and reading her suggested books, when I have time ;).
Class Policies:
1) If a class is small or has especially talkative students, we may end a little earlier or later, but I will always try to end on time.
2) If a scheduled class does not meet the minimum enrollment, I will contact the parent before class time to offer to transfer their learner to a new day and time. If requested, I may choose to teach the class at the original time.
3) Classes will begin on time, even if all learners are not yet present in the classroom. To respect the time of the learners in the class, I will contact absent learners after class to see if they had technical issues or other challenges.
4) If no learners are present in the classroom, I will wait 10 minutes into the scheduled time before exiting the classroom.
5) If I am late because of having technical challenges myself, I will offer to stay late or transfer learners to a new session.
6) I expect for learners to treat each other kindly in class and to show respect for everyone present. I treat others the way I want to be treated, and I expect the same in return.Reviews
