Class Experience

Calling all Master builders! Do you love to build new things? Then this class is for you! In this ongoing class, students will be given challenges to build their own creations using building bricks. Each class will have different challenges. Demonstrations and examples will be provided, along with guidance to support the students as they build their creations. Students will have time during class to work on their challenges, while provided with feedback from the teacher and the other students in the class. From vehicles to towers to robots to animals to dream houses, students will get to build many different types of creations! Games and friendly competitions will occur too! Students will have the opportunity to share their creations during each class! Bring your building bricks and your creativity and let's have fun building together!

*Disclaimer--students will not be building with any kits or a specific set. Instead, they will be completing challenges using different types of building bricks making their own builds.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Iowa Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education

Hello! My name is Amy and I have been a teacher for 20 years! I have taught early childhood and elementary grade levels, ESL students, college students, and adults through various institutions!

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education and a Master of Education degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I also have a Master of Science degree in Educational and Instructional Technology. In addition, I am certified to teach Reading in grades K-8 and all Middle School subjects. I have also obtained my TESOL endorsement.

My philosophy of teaching combines a few different educational theories. I am a strong believer of constructivist and brain-based learning and incorporate both into my instruction. I want to make learning interesting, engaging, fun, and challenging so that students are excited to learn and are more engaged in their learning. I incorporate differentiated instruction and multiple methods of instruction to meet the diverse needs of the students. I also strive to create a learning environment that supports social emotional learning and competency. I use a variety of technological sources in many of my classes, including PowerPoint, YouTube, and other digital resources. I love to incorporate technology, music, and a variety of other teaching methods to help reach all learners!

I reside in Arizona, USA with my husband, 4 children, 3 dogs, and 2 guinea pigs! Reading is my favorite hobby and I love animals. My favorite place in the world is the beach and I love to swim! 

I teach reading classes, book clubs, science classes, and other fun learning classes. I offer a wide variety of classes on Outschool. I will work hard to make sure your child enjoys my classes!
