In this class students will assemble a bead pet key chain of a chipmunk by following a diagram/pattern. This course will begin with an introduction of all students, and then we will be sure everyone has the necessary equipment ready for use. *Pre-planning is required in this class.* After we are sure all students have the required materials we will begin cutting our wire and threading our beads based on the pattern; with the instruction of the teacher. I will be demonstrating the process as each student works individually with their pattern. This will be mostly a hands on activity with discussion within the platform. Learners do not need any additional knowledge or experience to enroll in this course.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to follow a pattern and create something based off that pattern.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I live in Virginia with my two precious boys Ashton, and Carson and a beloved partner of 17 years; Jeremy. I enjoy traveling, spending time with my kids, learning new things, and I especially enjoy teaching. Teaching has always been a dream of mine and I continue to find different enlightening avenues to fulfill this dream.
I have a Bachelor of Liberal Arts with a concentration in Elementary Education, Associates of Arts & Science, and a certificate in Surgical Technology.
I am a licensed teacher and taught 2nd grade for three years and will be teaching third grade this coming year.
I have experience in teaching students to read, write, and math skills.
I started my career as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), I then received my certificate in Surgical Technology (CST) and worked in the operating room for 5 years. Then I taught the clinical/lab portion of the Surgical Technology program at the community college level. I worked for a short time in a daycare/preschool setting teaching ages 3-5, which lead me to becoming a Special Education Teacher Assistant in an elementary school, teaching children from kindergarten to fifth grade, this position pathed the way for my current job as a public educator. I volunteered with the local Girl Scouts, for about 5 years, as a troop leader for girls ages 5-18.
I am hoping to teach a diverse group of classes touching on different areas of my expertise and career paths. I enjoy being in the classroom and working with all children, Outschool is just a different version of that classroom and I look forward to working with your child(ren) and enjoying a class(es) together here on Outschool.
