This is a one-time class. This class is perfect for little artists ages 4-9, no drawing experience necessary. We will be reading 'How to Catch a Mermaid' by Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerton. Throughout the story, I will call on students and ask comprehension questions. We will engage in fun conversations about mermaids and how they are similar to animals in the sea. At the end of the story, we will complete a story map to sequence the events in the story. After the story, we will draw a mermaid together following step-by-step instructions.

My Background:
I obtained a Bachelor of Science in 2012 from Barton College in North Carolina. I am a licensed teacher in the areas of Elementary Education K-5, Middle Grades Mathematics 6-9, and Special Education K-12. I also hold a TESOL (Teaching English to speakers of other languages) certificate. I have 7 years of public school teaching experience. Currently, I am a Work-At-Home mom of two kids. I have been teaching online for the past 3 years, so I understand the importance of making students feel welcome and included in this setting.
My Philosophy:
I believe all children are capable of being successful, regardless of their backgrounds. I believe that every child has different strengths and can use their strengths to overcome their weaker areas. I also think that the more fun a child has, the more they will want to learn.
Fun Facts About Me:
-I have a husband, a daughter, and a son. Both of my children enjoy taking classes on Outschool.
-I have 3 dogs and 1 cat.
-I enjoy running, baking, and finding new restaurants/places to visit.

I am so excited to meet you! See you soon.
