In this one-time social art class, learners will talk with friends and practice social skills while playing with everyone's favorite...Play Doh. This will not be an art class; no techniques will be taught. The focus will be on practicing important life skills such as listening to others, taking turns speaking, telling stories, etc... We will begin the class with a brief introduction and perhaps a song to get everyone's wiggles out (although wiggling is certainly welcome during our Play-Doh Party). The rest of the time will be spent chatting, showing off our Play-Doh skills, and making new friends. I feel that children should be encouraged to follow their passions. Children need to know that they can have what they want for their lives if they have the correct tools and motivation to get there. I hope to help build confidence in my students and to give them some of those tools. I also believe that not every child learns the same way. Education is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I look forward to helping your child learn how they learn. While I offer an extensive collection of class content choices, my specialty is meeting students where they’re at and making the course material accessible to all students, regardless of the topic. I love to be silly with my students and encourage interaction in all of my classes. I want learners to feel at ease and safe to be themselves in my classroom. My small class sizes and relaxed, encouraging teaching style allow me to tailor my classes to each student’s needs and learning style, resulting in learners walking away from class confident and smiling. *If you don't see a time listed that works for you, please reach out. I am happy to add classes to accommodate students' schedules whenever I can. Thank you!*

Parental Guidance
Please make sure that your child has space to play with the play-doh without ruining your device. Also, if your learner requires supervision to play with Play Doh appropriately (ie. - Not stick it in eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc…) please remain in the room as I will not be able to enforce safety through the computer.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Southern New Hampshire University
I am a homeschooling mom of five kids, ranging in age from ten to nineteen. We are diving into our 6th year of homeschool and we love it. I have a passion for both education and creativity and I love combining the two whenever I can. When I'm not teaching (my kids or someone else's), I run a business based purely on creativity and art.
Traveling (and 8 years of formal classes) gave me a handle on the Spanish language. I have a background in general education from 19 years of combined experience teaching in public and charter school settings, as well as tutoring one on one, ESL, and running various camps and activities. My experience ranges from childcare (infant) age all the way through high school age and includes work with neurodiverse and special needs students, as well as students with mental health issues.
I have a passion for, and educational background in Graphic Art/Design, however, my degrees are AA in Liberal Studies and a BA in General Studies with a concentration in Psychology. I am also TESOL certified.
