In this virtual Valentine's Day party we will hear jokes, practice social skills by introducing ourselves and sharing something that we love, meet some puppet friends, and play games. Learners will practice listening and pattern skills as they play Valentine Bingo and will have a chance to get some wiggles out in a second game that involves movement. Together we will complete a Valentine Day themed craft to design a Valentine that includes a pop-up heart. Please see details in the supply section of suggested items to bring to class. Learners are invited to bring a special treat to celebrate as well!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Greetings! I am thrilled to be a part of the Outschool teaching group! Working with kids and helping them learn and grow truly is a passion of mine. I hold a bachelor's degree with double majors in business management and psychology, a masters degree in community counseling, and a post-masters degree in school counseling. My teaching experience is broad, covering multiple settings including community outreach, corporate training, nonprofit agency work, higher education (including University and Community College levels), and public K12 schools. Some of the classes I've taught include organizational and study skills, managing strong emotions, psychology, sociology, and career exploration, to name a few. In addition, I'm married and a mom of two young children. We live in a rural area and maintain a small hobby farm that is a home to several animals including five alpacas! I hope to have the opportunity to meet your student!
