The animal world is full of amazing transformations! Students will experience these transformations first hand through this life cycle study. In this three day Spring Break Camp, students will learn about the life cycle of the butterfly, frog and flower through literature, short videos and will complete a hands-on project for each of the life cycles. Day 1: Butterfly Life Cycle: Hands-on activity - create a butterfly life cycle hat Day 2: Frog Life Cycle: Hands-on activity - create a paper plate frog life cycle Day 3: Flower/Plant Life Cycle: Hands-on activity - cut and paste the life cycle of the flower/plant and create the parts of the plant (and label). I will share the handouts for this class when you join our class. Come and learn about our amazing world!

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I have been a teacher for over 20 years. I have working in public, private and charter schools. I've worked with homeschooling families and I also homeschooled my own children. I hold a CA Professional Clear Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and my Montessori Early Childhood Certificate. I am also about to complete my Master degree in Creative Writing.
I am still a curious learner and love to pass that curiosity along to my students. I love to guide students through the process of reading (phonics to blending sounds into words!) numbers, and math concepts. I am passionate about guiding students to wonder about the world around us and discovering new things through science and cultural studies.
My classes guide student to become independent learners and to be curious about the world around them.
