What's included

12 live meetings
8 in-class hours
Homework
1 hour per week. We meet online Monday through Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday I will have a suggested activity or request for you to try. You may participate in Monday through Wednesday online only or you may try the challenge activities and tell us all about it on Monday. Our first Thursday challenge will be to find something that lives in nature and draw a picture of it. Our first "Friday Challenge" will be to take a walk outside and find a special treasure to share with friends at Show and Tell the following Monday.

Class Experience

This is a Nature Based Morning Circle with fun Waldorf songs and verses to start your day. Your child will enjoy learning new hand movements and songs while connecting with other children. Each season is magical in its own way. Spring offers opportunities to splash in muddy puddles. Summer offers opportunities to catch frogs and plant gardens. Fall offers big piles of leaves to jump in and garden goodness to harvest. Winter offers an opportunity to sculpt with snow and slide like a penguin! 

I believe it is important for teachers and friends to make strong connections which is why my classes are small. There will never be more than 8 children registered in class. This allows each child the opportunity to share their unique voice! 

No matter what the season our circle will start each day in a happy way. Each month will focus on rhymes, songs and activities reflecting the season. This class meets three days a week for 4 weeks. When you enroll you will have access to a handout that will include our songs and rhymes for the month as well as crafts, activities, or recipes that you may use to enhance your morning circle time or engage with your child outside of class.

If you love nature, singing and exploring outside you will love this class! We meet online three days each week. This gives your family an opportunity to use two days a week for field trips and your own unique homeschooling experience. I do suggest getting outside as much as possible! Friday is our Forest Friday where I encourage you to take your singing voice outside and take a walk! Maybe you will find a squirrel in your travels, spot a deer, or view the ocean? No matter what you find outside we would love to hear about it on Monday when you return to class.
Learning Goals

You will not need external resources to participate in class. Materials needed for activities will be on the handout and no materials on the list will be needed the first day of class to participate. Materials needed will most likely be items you have around the house or outside like construction paper, glue sticks, pencils, crayons, acorns, leaves, paint and paint brush.

Hi. My name is Heather. The best students ask lots of questions and explore their ideas openly. My job is to inspire the questions and give students the tools they need to find their own answers.  I earned my BFA from Madonna University in Michigan and my MEd. from Antioch New England in New Hampshire. I am a Nature Based Educator and Art Education Consultant with 25 years of experience working with children. Whether leading a hiking group, sketching, searching for mermaid tears, or giving a demonstration at Strawbery Banke Museum I infuse my days with imagination and curiosity.  I am also the Head Youth Librarian at the Newmarket Public Library in New Hampshire!

My heart is in everything I do. Creativity is at the core of all of the classes I teach. Nature Journaling, Gardening, Nature Architects, Myth, Magic and Folklore, The Art of Letter Writing (via Owl post of course!), Morning Circle for Littles, Fine Art classes focusing on famous and not so famous artists, Forest Fairy Club, Wizard's Potions and Magic Wands, and Spelling Bees are just a few of the classes I offer. Ages range from 3 to 18.
