Class Experience

Art and Science together? Yes, please! In this class, your child will learn fun facts about our Solar System, while making their own colorful planets!

Your child will follow simple step-by-step directions, while also being presented with pictures and facts about our different planets. Along the way, we will chat about our favorite colors, and discuss different things we know about space. 

This course will be hands-on, while I also present facts and pictures via a presentation to your child.  Using my high-energy personality, singing, and lots of interaction, your child is sure to have a fun time! 

Let's get to learning and creating!

Hello! I am Miss Leslie! Thank you for considering me to teach your child in Outschool. My goal is to foster a love of learning from all students, whether I teach them one time, or one hundred times! 

Experience I Bring:
⭐️Bachelors in Early Childhood Education
⭐️Masters in Reading Education
⭐️3 years teaching on Outschool
⭐️12+ years teaching kindergarten
⭐️ 1.5 years of teaching elementary and junior high physical education 
⭐️1 year of reading intervention
⭐️1.5 years working with 0-3 year olds 
⭐️ Over 14 years working with students with special needs
⭐️Tutoring K-6th grade
⭐️2 years online ESL teacher
⭐️1.5 years online kindergarten

I believe that all children are capable of learning.  I also know that these young years in a child's life are full of growth, and I would like to touch the lives of as many children as possible during that crucial time in brain development.  I teach though silly voices, song, and love to interact with my students.  It takes a LOT to keep young kids engaged during online teaching, and I would love to use my gift to teach your child!

I currently exclusively teach a beginner ASL class.  I still continue to teach in a public elementary school during the daytime, so I am unable to accomodate additional daytime classes at this time.  In the summer, my offerings vary.

I have two young children of my own, and love to spend my spare time making as many memories as possible.  Our family is very involved in church and sports.  We love the outdoors, but also love a relaxing evening in.  

Please let me know what I can do to help your child.
