Welcome to the magical world of The Baby-Sitters Club! In this ongoing class, we will meet weekly to discuss these fantastic books and characters. Please note that each class can be taken separately and does not build on any other classes, so you can drop in and out as needed! The "Baby-Sitters Club” novels are incredibly popular, and have spawned generations of fans. In recent years, several of these books have been re-written in a graphic novel format. In each class, we will focus on one particular book in the graphic novel series through a combination of teacher-led and student-led discussion. Discussion is only focused on that book and does not build on previous books, therefore students can enroll at any point and not be behind. I will begin each class with a fun Q&A activity tied to that week's reading, and then we will discuss the characters and plot from the week's selection. I highly encourage interaction and participation in my classes, while also being mindful of those who are not comfortable participating. Although no prior knowledge is needed, students will most likely enjoy this class more if they have read the selected book each week. Here is a list of the dates and books that will be covered: Week of 7/5: Kristy's Great Idea (Book 1); Beach Relaxation Week of 7/12: The Truth About Stacey (Book 2); Shine Your Light Relaxation Week of 7/19: Mary Anne Saves the Day (Book 3); Dragonfly Relaxation Week of 7/26: Claudia and Mean Janine (Book 4); Cozy Castle Relaxation Week of 8/2: Dawn and the Impossible Three (Book 5); Calm Kitty Relaxation Week of 8/9: Kristy's Big Day (Book 6); Lazy River Relaxation Week of 8/16: Boy Crazy Stacey (Book 7); Rainbow Relaxation Week of 8/23: Logan Likes Mary Anne! (Book 8); Walk Through a Forest Relaxation Week of 8/30: Claudia and the New Girl (Book 9); Lapping Waves Relaxation Week of 9/6: Kristy and the Snobs (Book 10); Show and Tell Day!! Week of 9/13: Goodbye Stacey, Goodbye (Book 11); Relaxation for School Confidence ***These classes will be added to in subsequent weeks. I will update these dates once we reach the end of the first cycle.

Hello all learners and parents! My name is Mandy and I teach classes designed to help children reduce stress and anxiety. I have 16years of experience using techniques that are research-based and proven to aid in mind/body relaxation. My goal is to help children learn to cope with and manage anxiety through techniques they can use throughout their lives.
My academic background is in Clinical Psychology. I have both a B.S. and M.S. in Clinical Psychology and have 20 years of experience working with youth. I have worked in a therapeutic setting since 2004, teaching social skills groups, relaxation exercises, art therapy, and play therapy sessions. As a psychometrist, I have extensive experience administering comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations and cognitive rehabilitation assessments, including vision therapy and neurofeedback, with children and adolescents. I have worked with a wide range of diagnoses (ADHD, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, Autism, Dyslexia, behavior disorders, etc.), ages (age 2 to adult), and intellectual levels (severely delayed to gifted).
I am an avid reader and a lifelong Baby-Sitters Club fan! In my childhood, I eagerly awaited each new book, and spent every penny of my allowance on them. I'm proud to say that there was a time in my life where I had every single book in the original series!
