In this one time class, learners will be taught how to draw a minion from the movie Despicable Me. There are so many tiny little details that make your minion really pop off the page. First of all, who doesn't love minions? They are awesome, fun and you can even make them into anything you want, including superheroes. We will cover basic shapes, anatomy, and if time permits, we will cover more about shading to bring that character to life. Art is a way of expression and to be creative and let your imagination run wild is truly the only way for children to be happy while learning. It helps build the hunger and need for information. 5 minutes- Getting to know the learners and where they are from. I will be explaining all the different parts of the minion and in what order we will be going in order to stay on task. 15-25 minutes- Learners will be spending this time following along with the teacher in order to draw the best minion they can. 10 minutes- Learners will be taught a few tricks to make their minion look like it is coming to life on the paper. They will be able to take these tricks with them to whatever drawing they would like to do next. 5 minutes- Class wrap up/show off their minions to their classmates.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Parents and Students!
I teach math and science as core learning classes. I feel that I give great strategies, mostly through crafted story telling. This not only allows students to relate to the material but also gives us a pretty good laugh! And if we know anything, we always remember what makes us laugh! I am certified in Connecticut K-6 and Florida K-6. I achieved my Masters Degree at the best school for teachers in CT, Southern CT State University.
I was never a fan of education or the public school system for as long as I can remember. They always say the right things but never seem to really want children to be their own thinkers. Too many times the only reasons children know anything is due to them being told what to do and what to think. I value children's minds and what they are truly capable of. Children can literally understand anything as long as you let them discover it. The moment you shut them down is the moment their creativity and imagination are halted. My mission is to help develop children's minds and allow them to think and solve problems in anyway they see fit. True education is through creativity.
I would love to teach more about how the brain works for children to lower stress. Mindfulness is a topic I have been following for at least 6 years now. I have noticed a trend in the public school system with administration teams being "corporate" mindfulness. They really only scratch the surface of how to effectively utilize the brain to their advantage and as long as they are mentioning those keywords they think they are up to date. The truth is they don't want to really touch on the subject because they don't understand what it truly is. I like to explore deeper in the understandings and what we can accomplish when we really use mindfulness.
Hope to see you all in class!
