Class Experience

Using the book, "Harold and the Purple Crayon" as inspiration, students listen to a read-aloud by the teacher and then will use paper shapes to stimulate their imaginations in an open ended art project. 

"Harold and the Purple Crayon" is a 1955 children's book by Crockett Johnson, it is a beloved classic in my home. My children loved reading this book over and over, and it's the perfect book to incorporate a craft art project. Children will have fun moving the shapes around to create a picture, during the process they will learn to think creatively, independently and imaginative. Students will learn about the physical limitations and possibilities of the materials for the craft. Students learn to gain confidence and realize their own ideas with this fun craft project!
Learning Goals
-Students will use shapes to stimulate their imaginations and create a unique image.
-Students will use crayons to draw details that will complete their images.
-Students will practice gluing skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Janice, I am a business professional by degree but have a passion for teaching! I have a Bachelors of Administration Degree, majoring in Business Management - graduating cum laude honors.  I am currently a stay at home mother and have been homeschooling my three amazing, energetic, intelligent boys ages 9, 7 and 2 for years. 

I left my career as a successful Production Planner at North America's largest automotive part supplier to stay at home with my children. As my passion for teaching grew and the needs of my energetic and inquisitive children grew I became a Homeschool Teacher and the learning and opportunities are so rich we all flourished! My Nature Journaling class developed organically with my love and passion for teaching and the outdoors and I am so excited for this Outschool Platform to share it with you! My Lego club classroom is much the same, life with 3 boys - need I say more?! I believe in incorporating visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic learning opportunities in my teaching units for interesting lessons and material retention. I believe children learn best when they are connected, having fun and engaged. It's an exciting journey and I am so happy to teach your children along side of my own children!

A little more about me: I love helping children learn and discover the world around them. My strengths are exploring and learning through Science, Arts, Reading and Nature. I have extensive experience working with children with special needs and learning challenges which has allowed me to teach content engaging and relevant keeping the interest of all learners! I have years experience working hand in hand as a Behavioural Interventionist for kids with Autism, ADHD, ODD and Anxiety. I have also been a successful owner/operator of a daycare servicing children ages 2-5 years old running preschool and montessori type programs.

As a mother and teacher of three bright and beautiful children, I understand the importance and need for quality education and appreciate that we have platforms in which we can make those important choices. I am honoured you have trusted me with aiding in your child's life long learning journey. I hope my classes help inspire, educate and and ignite passion in your children for years to come. 

Please feel free to contact me with any of your questions and concerns and I look forward to seeing your child in my classroom!
