Welcome to Spring Herb School! This spring you will have the opportunity to learn about 5 well known herbs that are popular during the spring season. During each class we will cover one herb as well as its history and uses. This helpful little plant, with it's pretty little white flowers that look like stars, is often overlooked when we find it growing in our yards, but it's definitely worth a second look and we will find out why in this herb school class! Each Spring Herb School class will consist of poems, songs, or short stories. We will then learn about the history of the herb. We will also go over the different parts of the plant and their uses. We may get to see the plants growing in an aeroponic gardening system. Once we are familiar with the herb I will then demonstrate a recipe or craft that the students can do at home on their own if they wish. Each Herb School Class is considered a standalone class. You do not need to take the other classes to enjoy this one! Other Spring Herb School Classes Include: Chamomile Dandelion Borage Chickweed Fennel Class Participant Minimums Policy Please note that class minimums will be strictly enforced. Should a class be cancelled due to not meeting the minimum participant requirement you will be given 1 hour notice before the class begins. In the case of a cancellation due to lack of students you will be given the option of having your class fees refunded or you may switch to a different section if one is available.

Supply List
This class also includes a set of note taking sheets that will include the recipes and information we learned in class plus projects that you can do on your own after class. We recommend keeping this information in a 3 ring binder so that you can keep all your herb notes handy and organized. These notes will be posted to the forum 1 hour before the class so that you can print them out and have them ready when class begins.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I'm Chelsea, teacher, and mother of two children ages 8 and 13. I've been working with Outschool since 2017 and as an online teacher since 2016. Outside of the online world, I am a currently working as a Waldorf Lead Teacher for Grades 6, former Waldorf Handwork Teacher, and former Waldorf Early Childhood Extended Care Teacher. In the past, I've also been a junior high art teacher and a substitute teacher as well.
I have been involved in the world of Waldorf as both a teacher and parent for over a decade now. I am currently working on my Waldorf teaching certification with The Sophia Institute. I have also participated in the iWaldorf grades teachers conference and Jamie York Math training for Waldorf teachers. I am passionate about Waldorf education and I love being able to share it with families on Outschool.
I am also certified as an EFL/ESL teacher with both my TEFL and IDELT certificates. I have a Bachelor's Degree (B.A.) in Arts Administration and a Master's Degree in Business (MBA).
I am fascinated by languages and have been lucky to have spent time traveling out of the country to several places including Germany. My trips to Germany have included being a part of an ambassador group to kick off my hometown's sister cities program with Wasserburg, Germany. I have also been involved with hosting several German exchange students through the aforementioned program as well as through other exchange organizations. I've studied the German language for several years and still continue to practice with conversational German tutors to keep my own skills fresh.
I am also an avid student of natural health and have completed several certification programs in this area including herbology, essential oils, and wellness coaching for children, families and pregnant women. I am currently pursuing my ND certification as well and hope to finish within the next 3 years.
When I'm not teaching you find me working on my latest drawing or painting, reading or enjoying time with my children. I am so thankful that online teaching gives me the opportunity to teach from my home while connecting with people around the world. I can't wait to work with you and your child!Reviews
