In this one-time class I will introduce children to 3-D shapes such as cube, cylinder, cone and sphere. Children will share a 3-D shape from their home, for example a ball to represent sphere, this will encourage language and learning through real-life objects. I will also share geometric shapes with objects from my home and use geometric shape blocks and flash cards too. Children will need geometric blocks to build a block structure.(refer to supply list below) I purposely structured this class to be a small group of six or less children to allow each child the opportunity to share their block structure. We will play geometric shape bingo and will end the class by painting geometric shapes and a story. Children should already be able to name 2D shapes such as, circle, square, triangle and rectangle to have the vocabulary and prior knowledge to build upon more difficult geometric shapes. This will be a fun interactive hands-on learning experience; I look forward to meeting your child.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, my name is Anna Contreras, I am a preschool teacher with twenty-five years’ experience. I have experience working with older children six to ten years old as a teacher assistant. I have two degrees, a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies and an Associate Degree in Education.
My educational belief is every child has a right to a safe learning environment. As a teacher it is my responsibility to be a positive influence on children's love of learning and to foster their self-esteem. I love working with children, I am animated, silly, and fun which keeps children engaged and interested. In my experience children learn through laughter and silliness.
Teaching tools I use are puppets, music, games, dance, musical instruments, I also use Manycam to display pictures on screen to engage children learning process. Classes I hope to teach on Outschool include early literacy, math and science, arts and crafts, nursery rhymes, music, and dance.
On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my family, my husband and I have two adult sons, a daughter-in-law and four grandchildren. I love spending time with my two dogs, Marley, and Bella. I enjoy TikTok and learning new dances with my granddaughters.Reviews
