💫This is a one-time class that can be taken multiple times. Come once, or come often! Welcome to "Show and Tell My Pet and Me!"—a fun and interactive social skills class designed especially for young children who love their pets (or stuffed animals)! In this class, students will have the opportunity to introduce their furry, feathered, or scaly friends to the group, sharing stories and special facts about their pets. Learners are welcome to bring a stuffed animal and pretend to have a real pet too. Through this engaging show-and-tell format, children will practice important social skills such as speaking confidently, listening to others, and taking turns. Each session will focus on fostering a supportive and friendly environment where every child feels encouraged to participate and express themselves. Whether your child has a dog, cat, hamster, fish, or any other pet (stuffed animals included), this class is the perfect place to share their excitement and connect with other young animal lovers! Learning Goals: ✔️ Develop confidence in public speaking. ✔️ Enhance listening skills and respect for others' contributions. ✔️ Practice turn-taking and patience. ✔️ Foster empathy and understanding of different animals. ✔️ Describe the characteristics and needs of living things. 📌Pets do not need to be present for every class; students can share photos, drawings, or stories about their pets if needed. Learners are welcome to bring a stuffed animal and pretend to have a real pet too. 📂Questions that we will discuss during our show and tell class: What is your pet's name? What kind of animal is your pet? How old is your pet? What color is your pet? What does your pet like to eat? Does your pet have a favorite toy? What is it? Where does your pet like to sleep? What fun things do you and your pet do together? Can your pet do any tricks? How did you choose your pet's name? What do you love most about your pet? Does your pet have any funny habits or things it likes to do? How do you take care of your pet? What is your pet’s favorite place to go? Does your pet get along with other animals or people? Can you describe a day in the life of your pet? What is the most special thing your pet has done? Does your pet make any special sounds? What do they mean? Have you taught your pet any special tricks or commands? Is there a funny or interesting story about your pet that you’d like to share? 🤩These questions are designed to encourage children to share and engage with their peers, making the class fun and interactive.

I have been teaching for more than 25 years with the Toronto District School Board (🍁Canada). My Ontario College of Teachers Certificate number is #286618. I attended Dalhousie University for my Bachelor of Music in Performance, and then Brock University for my Bachelor of Education. I studied classical piano from the age of 5 with the Royal Conservatory of Music. While in University, I performed as a Mezzo-Soprano in the Dalhousie Chorale.
Throughout my teaching career, I have taught K-12 Music, Kindergarten, Grade 1 and 2, Health and Physical Education. I have conducted choirs and musical ensembles for seasonal public performances throughout all of these years of teaching. I have always continued to advance my skills by taking additional qualifications courses and am very proud to be a Reading Specialist.
