Welcome to Rhyme Time Adventures, a silly class full of games, crafts and laughter! This is a modified version of my Rhyme Time Summer Camp for those that cannot commit to longer class times over a shorter period of time. Some activities are modified but many are the same. You'll love this class if you like to make friends, be creative, let your silly side show and sprinkle in a bit of learning as well! Each week will follow a similar format. We will: - Say hello and answer a silly ice breaker question - Read a nursery rhyme - Do an activity, game or craft (2 out of the 3) Please refer to the syllabus to see a breakdown of each week's lesson activities, games and crafts! All necessary supplies are listed below in the supply list! I'll see you this summer! I can't wait!
Learning Goals
In this class, learners will use nursery rhymes to hear rhythm and repetition in language while practicing skills such as rhyming words, syllables, shapes, and matching. Learners will also flex their creativity muscles through art projects and games. Crafts will provide opportunities for practicing fine motor skills and yoga will allow for some gross motor movement.

Teacher expertise and credentials
**Update: I am taking a hiatus from Outschool as I take care of some personal matters. Thank you to all of the learners and their families who have spent time with me learning and having fun.**
Hello everyone! My name is Miss April and I am so excited to be a part of the Outschool community! Here you will find that I love to have fun, be silly, and make learners laugh - all while learning at the same time. We do lots of crafts and hands-on activities while practicing math, literacy, and even social skills! I love hosting read alouds and book clubs for learners of all ages. I strive to engage a variety of learning styles and to create space for learners to interact with each other.
My background includes:
- Teaching Preschool at a brick and mortar school
- Serving families as a nanny: One child I cared for needed more structure and she was a little learning sponge so I created an at-home thematic curriculum that followed her interests, sparked a love of learning and reading and set her up for success at school! I also worked as a nanny when Covid shut down schools and was able to create play-based academic activities to keep those learning muscles working!
- Working in student ministry with learners grades 6-12
- Teaching ESL classes online, including a TESOL certification
All of these experiences have helped me grow in my passion for nurturing, empowering and educating learners of all ages.
Some fun things about me include:
1. I used to work at The Disney Store (and it was so much fun - I love Disney).
2. Eyeshadow palettes are a weakness of mine.
3. I have developed a love for birthday cake Oreos.
4. I have 2 kiddos.
5. I want to read all of the books and visit all of the places (let me know your favorite vacation destination when you enroll in a class)!
I cannot wait to meet you!Reviews
