Class Experience

What is static electricity? We will begin this class by explaining what static electricity is and how it is caused. The teacher will have some examples of static electricity and show the students how it works. Then, we will get to experiment together using a blown up balloon and tissue paper. We will also talk a little about the scientific method as we conduct our experiment. This class will be interactive and hands on while exposing children to science in a fun way. There is no prior experience required for this class. 

**Some of my one time class science experiments may also be done during my ongoing Preschool science lab! Repeating experiments is a great way for little learners to delve deeper into the topic and test different variables!**

Teacher expertise and credentials

Master’s Degree in Education from University of Maryland, College Park

Hello to Everyone!  My name is Miss Meghan and I can’t wait to meet your child. I enjoy teaching a variety of classes for preschool and early elementary ages. 

I hold a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Special Education. At the beginning of my career, I worked extensively with autistic children in home settings designing programs to help students access the world around them in an empowering way. After my oldest daughter was born, I became a licensed childcare provider creating a home away from home for many children to grow and learn. When my youngest daughter was born, I decided it was time to explore other options and that is how I landed at Outschool. I am so grateful for this opportunity and love meeting new learners from all over the world.

I have a passion for instilling a love of learning in young children through exposure, messy play, and fun! I strongly believe that letting children delve into learning at their own level and allowing for different types of learning styles sets children up for a life long learning journey. 

In addition to teaching on Outschool, I currently homeschool my youngest daughter and am very involved in her homeschool co-op and activities. My oldest daughter, who was homeschooled until high school, is trying public school for the first year! I feel so grateful to have a career that I love that also affords me the opportunity to spend time with my own children as well. In my free time, I enjoy art, brainstorming new lesson ideas, cross stitch, and reading! 

I offer science, art, language arts, social studies, math, and social classes for preschool and early elementary groups, as well as social groups for neurodivergent learners! Please feel free to message me with any questions!
