Calling all little monsters! Learners will draw use their creativity and imagination to make their own friendly monsters. We will brainstorm our monsters' talents and powers. Then, we'll need to tackle a very tricky problem: monsters hate going to bed! We will brainstorm ways to help our own monsters go to sleep and then use problem-solving skills to plan and build our very own monster beds. Let's hope our plans work, or our monsters will be keeping us up all night long!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, and welcome to my Outschool Page! I am excited to offer classes that allow young children to create, explore, and imagine! In these classes, students will learn more about themselves and the world around them through art, literature, and hands-on projects.
I earned my M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education and have been teaching for 12 years, working with children ages 5-10. I currently teach first grade and love introducing my students to the world of reading and writing! I believe in the importance of sharing books that are both "windows and mirrors" (an idea originally described by Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop) with my students. In other words, children should have many opportunities to see themselves reflected in the stories they read, and should also have opportunities to use books to learn about other perspectives and ways of life. My teaching approach combines play, discovery, and project-based learning with direct instruction.
I consider myself a lifelong student, and my work in the classroom often inspires me to learn more! I love to visit museums, travel, and read about nature, history, and other countries and cultures. In my free time I also enjoy crafting, listening to Broadway show-tunes, and spending time with my family. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students on Outschool!
