Class Experience

This is a pre-recorded class. No live meetings.
These plushies can be used as magnets, bookmarks, fridge clips, etc.

For the lessons, I will provide patterns for the students to print and cut out the felt.
Each lesson video will consist of instructions on how to sew the felt pieces together. Students are also welcome to use hot glue, tacky glue, or double sided tape to put the pieces together. 

No experience necessary but if students would like to use hot glue, they should have experience with it.

Students are encouraged to post questions and photos of their plushies in the classroom.

About Me:
I have a Master's degree in teaching and over 15 years of teaching experience in both public and private schools. From 2016-2020, I've been teaching and training teachers for online instruction, specializing in methodologies and curriculum development. I also spent many years studying how the brain learns information. It's fascinating! I'm a mom of two kiddos. They are the reason I love teaching. 

My classes:
All the materials in my classroom are designed with kids in mind, and I ensure that all my classes are tested with students before being launched. My strength lies in motivating struggling students to enjoy learning. I help them overcome fear of challenging subjects like math or languages by creating an environment 
that is fun and engaging. Over the years, I have implemented effective lessons, using unconventional methods such as Singapore math, that are not typically taught in classrooms. These methods allow me to target students' individual needs. 

Accomplishments:
I have spearheaded several initiatives in online teaching, including the first successful online classroom program in the world for impoverished children, which I presented at the International TESOL Convention in 2018. My ultimate desire is to see education made accessible to underprivileged kids worldwide. 

Educational Philosophy:
I believe that every child deserves access to fun and effective education. Recognizing that every child learns differently, I strive to accommodate various learning styles. Above all, my goal is to put a smile on every child's face.

Education:
- Bachelor's in Design
- Master's degree in Teaching
- Elementary Education Certification with ESOL
