💰If you are new to me, use code JENNYTRY3 to take $3 off any of my classes!💰 In this ongoing, weekly class we will create a different Pokemon character each week. Students will have the opportunity to chat and discuss Pokemon while we make our projects. Templates and guidance will be given, and all skill levels are welcome. No prior or expert levels of Pokemon knowledge are required. Every week we will focus on a different character and learn how to layer our paper to create epic masterpieces! Students will also have the ability to suggest characters for future class projects. Students will be encouraged to share what they create and will be able to share any other Pokemon goodies they want to at the end of class. My class setting is a relaxed, fun, open space for all students to be able to discuss and express their thoughts about what we are learning. I encourage student interaction with not only myself but with their fellow classmates. Everyone is expected to be respectful, positive and listen to one another but also feel like they have the ability to share their own thoughts and opinions. I believe learning should be fun and try to provide a space for that to happen. As a neurodivergent teacher myself, I incorporate different learning styles (visual, hands-on etc.) to make sure everyone is included & is able to find learning styles that work best for them. I strive to find a balance that includes everyone!
Learning Goals
Students will learn to follow directions and how to create there very own paper Pokemon!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of California Riverside
Hi! I love to teach classes that are fun and promote discussion and creativity. In all of my classes I mix critical thinking with out of the box thinking so that the kids learn something brand new! I find the best way to do this is by using books, video games, trivia and other interactive components to keep them engaged and wanting to learn.
My passion for critical thought stems from my degree in Philosophy. The integration of pop culture in my classes is rooted in a lifetime of toy collecting, video game playing, and during my time as a staff writer for an online comic book review site. Over the past five years I have created community-based, pop-up craft classes for parents and children that integrate culture and thought, and I am excited about the opportunity to share these types of activities with my students!
Outside of teaching I enjoy spending time with my husband, son and three cats! I like online gaming and spending a lot of time crafting.
