This ongoing four-week class is an opportunity for learners to socialize be silly, creative, and imaginative, this class will cycle every four weeks. We will start each class with a silly icebreaker, would you rather be a shark or an elephant? Children will learn social skills and language skills by expressing their thoughts and ideas. We will cover a variety of activities, painting, playdough fun, drawing, singing, and dancing. If time allows, I will read aloud a book at end of class. This fun hands-on class is a fun way for children to explore, create and meet new friends. My teaching style is to encourage and develop children’s self-esteem, through music, art, and language. Children will have time to interact with one another through games, such as Bingo and share their painting, if they feel comfortable to do so. No prior knowledge is necessary, just bring your joy and laughter! Note: This is an on-going class and children can join and stop at any time the weeks do not build upon each other. I have provided a list of activities, music, books and authors below, (sources).

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, my name is Anna Contreras, I am a preschool teacher with twenty-five years’ experience. I have experience working with older children six to ten years old as a teacher assistant. I have two degrees, a bachelor’s degree in liberal studies and an Associate Degree in Education.
My educational belief is every child has a right to a safe learning environment. As a teacher it is my responsibility to be a positive influence on children's love of learning and to foster their self-esteem. I love working with children, I am animated, silly, and fun which keeps children engaged and interested. In my experience children learn through laughter and silliness.
Teaching tools I use are puppets, music, games, dance, musical instruments, I also use Manycam to display pictures on screen to engage children learning process. Classes I hope to teach on Outschool include early literacy, math and science, arts and crafts, nursery rhymes, music, and dance.
On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my family, my husband and I have two adult sons, a daughter-in-law and four grandchildren. I love spending time with my two dogs, Marley, and Bella. I enjoy TikTok and learning new dances with my granddaughters.Reviews
