Do you want to make new friends? Often feel shy around others? Not sure how to start a conversation with someone new? Are you a good listener? Let Ms. Pamela help facilitate friendships through our weekly "Let's Be Friends! Social Club". In this club, Ms. Pamela will ask a "What If?" question allowing everyone to answer it if they choose to. I play along too to facilitate conversation for those who might be a little shy by asking lots of questions to ease into talking. In this class we will encourage active listening, compassion, and empathy, taking turns, respecting other's opinions, and above all, making new friendships in a safe, online environment. This is an interactive class. September Questions include: Week of 9/2: What if people screamed instead of laughed when they were happy? Week of 9/9: What if you were born old and grew younger as you aged? Week of 9/16: What if you created a new clothing line, what would it be made of? Week of 9/23: What if you were asked to create a new kind of vending machine, what would it sell, and where would you put them? Week of 9/30: What if you discovered a new bug, what would it look like, and what would you call it? October Questions include: Week of 10/7: What if you could change the colors of things, what would you change and why? Week of 10/14: If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be?

A Bit About Me:
I am passionate about learning and have been privileged to engage with over 900 learners from 25 countries since teaching my first class on Outschool in 2020. My classes span a range of ages and subjects, with a focus on full curriculum semester classes for preschool through third grade. I offer many craft classes, often by request, and I am always up for teaching a book club as I am an avid reader. I am always working on more too!
My Background:
With 35+ years of teaching experience, I've held various roles, including Montessori teacher, private early elementary teacher, center director, preschool owner, homeschool co-op leader, and private tutor in math, writing, and early reading skills. In my previous position, I taught the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum and I have incorporated many of the basic ideas into my personalized curriculum.
We homeschooled our daughter from preschool to eighth grade. I have run a homeschool co-op, a preschool program, an early learning center, and scouting groups. I have an educational background in Early Childhood Education and American Sign Language.
My Teaching Style:
I believe that learning needs to be fun, and listening is just as important as talking and teaching. I am not one to mute a learner unless necessary but will encourage raising hands and taking turns during our games and discussions for all ages. I prioritize active participation and mutual respect.
Something Fun:
Crafting is a lifelong passion of mine, encompassing quilting, sewing, crocheting, knitting, painting, and jewelry making. I'm delighted to share my expertise through crafting classes on Outschool, and I'm always open to requests for new or existing classes.
Communication:
I strive to be responsive to emails, typically replying within a day. My teaching hours are from 8 am to 6 pm CST, during which I also attend to administrative tasks.
Missed Classes, Cancellations, Refunds:
I pride myself on being punctual and ready for class. We do live in Tornado Alley and take storms seriously since being hit by a tornado last March 2023. I try to warn ahead of time if possible. I will reimburse you for technical issues on my side or offer a single transfer for one-time classes if needed. I will teach only one or two students. Some of my best classes have happened with only one or two learners. It can make for great in-depth discussions!
I cannot wait to meet your child.Reviews
