Fun With Wikki Stix - Holiday Ornaments! (One-Time) This virtual class for ages 4-8 will meet one time, for thirty minutes. We will use wax sticks to create Holiday Ornaments. Note: Please see the Supply List for the required supplies you will need, including Wikki Stix. In this fun-filled art class, students will develop their creativity and eye-hand coordination as they manipulate wax sticks to create Christmas Ornaments. They will also practice finger dexterity while they "work". But it will feel more like play than work. They will explore a variety of shapes and colors as they use wax sticks to design their Holiday Ornaments arts and crafts project. It will be a fun time for them to learn by doing a hands-on activity. As they design their decorations, I will demonstrate with my own wax sticks how to use them to create bells, stars, and baubles. And they will have some opportunity to socialize while they create. This is a participation class where learners can get involved and be creative. During this online learning experience, students will be engaged in hands on activities that spark curiosity and artistic skills. By the end of the class, students will have their own art and craft project that they made using colorful wax sticks to form ornaments or a picture, using several shapes and colors. They will learn about how to form designs with these materials. They will understand some basic ideas about shapes and colors. I will be using a variety of modalities to accommodate a variety of learning styles. For example, I will address auditory learning by speaking about concepts, visual by showing illustrations and demonstrating how to create the picture, and kinesthetic by having students use their hands to form the shapes and make the picture. This small, online course is a great addition to any homeschool program for preschoolers and it helps to prepare learners for Kindergarten and First Grade. Second graders will love it, too! We will cover how to use the materials in various colors to make shapes and designs. I’m so excited to meet your child and start this new adventure with them!
Learning Goals

Other Details
Parental Guidance
~Learners will be working with materials that could become a choking hazard if used inappropriately. Due to the small parts, Wikki Stix are not recommended for children under 3 years old.
~Adult supervision and approval is required for students to handle the wax sticks in order to ensure the safety of each student.
~Please take appropriate precautionary measures regarding your child's participation.
~Parental approval and supervision is required for use of the materials. Please read all instructions and cautions on the package thoroughly prior to the class to ensure the health and safety of your child.
~Adults who are supervising are asked to remain present, but off camera, during class.
Students will need to have the attention span and ability to stay engaged for the full 30 minutes of class. Younger students may need prompting from a grownup to encourage them to stay engaged. My goal is to use activities that will take care of that, but each child is unique in his or her interests.
Supply List
~ I will provide a file that needs to be printed on white printer paper, size 8.5x11, prior to class. ~ A pencil. ~ A pair of safety scissors. ~ Crayons ~ A single hole punch. ~ Each student will need their own set of colorful Wikki Stix or another brand of wax sticks. Most JoAnn stores have them for about $5 and they come with 24 colorful sticks. ~ If you have used Wikki Stix before, you can reuse & recycle those.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi,
Thank you for visiting my page!
I’m excited to get to know you and I hope to have your learner in one of my classes sometime soon!
I have an interest in a wide variety of topics and I like to learn about many things. My goal is to instill and foster that same desire to learn in the students that I work with. I have worked with children for over 15 years. Regardless of the age of the learner, I hope to make the lesson fun and intriguing.
The subjects that I teach vary widely, according to my many interests. Some of them include reading, math, language arts, circle time, science, history, geometry, dissection, tv broadcast, video production, dance, and forensics. I enjoy being able to connect lessons, subjects, and activities with a theme.
I have an MS in Curriculum and Instruction for Elementary Education. I earned and maintained my Professional Teaching License from 1998 - 2018. My area of endorsement was Elementary Grades 1-8. I love using those skills to create lesson plans that are engaging and stimulating.
When I teach, I use a variety of modalities to accommodate a variety of learning styles. In this way, I am able to address multiple learning styles such as auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. I try to engage as many of the senses as possible. I feel that student participation is an important component of learning that facilitates comprehension and interest.
In my free time, I like to watch movies, go on short hikes, dance, and sing. I pursue a gluten free lifestyle. So I like finding foods and recipes that fit into my pursuit of healthy meals and snacks.
I look forward to meeting your learner! I can’t wait to see what kind of discoveries we make together!
