Class Experience
*NOTE: This is a flexible scheduled class (FLEX) with pre-recorded videos. No live meetings are held. Learners are encouraged to take the class at their own pace! In this class, we will focus on a different topic each week. Holiday lights, Christmas trees, reindeer, and Santa!! The main activity each week is creating a craft related to these topics, however, I will also read aloud a related book and include a challenge activity. Craft instruction videos are posted on Mondays, and learners are encouraged to post a photo of their completed craft by Sunday evening. Other videos and activities will be posted throughout the week. Crafts will typically take 25-45 minutes to complete. Learners will be guided step-by-step on how to create each craft through the pre-recorded videos. These projects are age-appropriate, but learners may need assistance with some steps.
