Class Experience

We will explore different geometric shapes and how to identify them. We will learn the names such as triangular pyramid, triangular prism, rectangular prism, and a cube. We will then make 3-D shapes using paper, glue, and additional supplies if desired. The class will be begin  with a presentation to learn about the different shapes. We will then have a demonstration with step by step directions as a group to create a 3-D shape. We will begin by building a cube as a group. There will be four shape patterns provided to be printed before class begins so the learner is able to participate. 

Join me, I am looking forward to creating shapes with you! Teacher LuAnn

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello, my name is teacher LuAnn! My interests are very vast and holistic. I have my BS in Psychology and Elementary education. I have certifications in holistic nutrition, aromatherapy, and ariculotherapy. I am currently an online ESL teacher and an In.Form health coach. My most important accomplishment is that I home schooled my two children from grades 7 to graduation. My work experience includes teaching for over twenty years in different settings. I managed a program as a computer assisted instructor for five years in a middle school setting. This program blossomed into a large program to help more struggling students academically. In the last 15 years, I managed and directed crisis homes for children and adults with a wide range of challenges. I have spent many years helping individuals overcome mental and physical challenges. I see each person as unique. My strength is finding ways to develop tools that will improve ones daily life. I enjoy helping others develop coping skills to help make a dark day brighter. I do not see people as a one size fits all! My passions range from art, cooking, reading,  math, and, natural health! I enjoy learning how things work. I am a hands on experiential learner which is the way I prefer to teach. I hope to see you in the classroom!
