We will do a flannel board story about cowboys and horses, talk about the desert habitat and what lives there like cactus and desert animals. Day 1 - We will talk about the jobs a cowboy does on the ranch and read a book about a horse called “Midnight the Mighty Mustang” by Pamela Williams, and sing a song called “I'm a Little Cowboy”. We will play a beginning sounds cowboy game. We will play Mosey like a Cowpoke movement activity, do a flannel board story about what a cowboy wears and why and another flannel board song called “Five Little Mustangs”. Day 2 - We will talk about desert animals and the saguaro cactus, read a story called “Tornado Slim and the Magic Cowboy Hat” by Brian Langdo and sing our “I'm a Little Cowboy” song. We will sing and move to “Way Out West” and we will talk about desert animals and where they live looking at pictures of each, and do a flannel board counting story about desert cactus. If any time remains after class we will play “Find the Spiny Mouse” game.

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
