Making Memories is a one-time English arts and crafts class that guides learners through the steps of creating a memory jar and writing memories and wishes. This memory jar can be used to keep notes about important days and events that happen throughout the year. Then learners can read them on New Year's Eve the next year as a celebration. Learners will be encouraged to express their creativity while making the memory jar and think critically about wishes, goals, and resolutions for the new year.
Learners that don't finish their memory jar during class time will be given all the instructions and resources to continue working after class. They can then share a picture of their jar on the classroom page if they want to still participate in sharing.
In class we will:
- Introduce ourselves and our New Years' traditions.
- Explain the concept of a memory jar and show examples for inspiration.
- Create our own memory jars while sharing days and events to look forward to in the new year.
- Write a wish for the new year and favorite memories from the current year to put in our memory jars.
- Close the class with students volunteering to share their memory jar and first wish for the new year.

Hello and Welcome!
My name is Caitlyn Teacher. It’s great to meet you!
***********************************
Dear Outschool families and learners,
I will be taking an indefinite break from Outschool as I am living abroad and unfortunately will not be able to continue teaching online for the time being. I truly enjoyed my time teaching on Outschool and hope to be able to start classes again one day.
Though I’ll be unable to teach on Outschool for a while, I will keep my profile open and can still be reached through Outschool messages!
Good luck in all your future classes and studies :)

***********************************
I have been volunteering and teaching in brick-and-mortar schools since 2013, and teaching online since 2021. I love teaching language arts (especially reading and writing), math, world cultures, K-Pop, and I am a huge fan of Disney. I want to share my passion for learning with students who have similar interests! I hope to encourage a passion for learning, inspire ideas for new interests and hobbies, and provide unique learning experiences for each student.
My classes cater to small group settings, with six or fewer learners in each class. This small group setting provides more opportunities for teacher-learner and learner-learner interactions. I structure my classes and lessons to encourage student discussion and interaction. There are many chances to ask and answer questions. The discussion questions are usually open-ended to allow learners to think creatively about an answer and lead to more personalized discussions.
I studied, trained, and became certified to be an elementary K-5 school teacher in America, then traveled abroad to teach English in Asia. I taught ESL to Korean middle and high schoolers for four years and finished a 120-hour young learners and teenagers TEFL/TESOL certification. While living in Asia, I took the opportunity to visit many countries and learn about new places and study new languages. I have been studying Korean since September 2017.
I look forward to when I can travel again! But from the comfort of home, I love still being able to connect with students all over the world through Outschool’s online classes!
I look forward to seeing you soon~
