In this one-time class, students will have the opportunity to learn fun and interesting facts about llamas. Afterward, we will create our own llamas. During this time, students will be able to socialize in a safe and supportive atmosphere. This craft has a limited and inexpensive supply list. Learners should be able to cut and fold paper, as well as follow simple directions with limited assistance. 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!*
Learning Goals
Students will learn about llamas and then create a rocking llama of their own.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
This is an art and crafts-based class. Students will be using scissors, glue, etc...There is an inherent risk of incidents (i.e. minor injury, mess...) when doing crafts. Please make sure that your child has the physical space to be creative and not destructive; as well as the supervision necessary for them to be safe. I do not require that an adult be in the room for this class, but if you believe your child will need supervision or assistance I would ask that you make yourself readily available. As always, you know your child best.
Supply List
- Paper plate - scissors - construction paper - markers - pom poms (various colors and sizes would be great - but not too big as we are using them to decorate our llamas) - school glue (liquid) or craft glue (Sticky Tac works well) - empty toilet paper roll -YOUR IMAGINATION
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
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.
