Welcome to Homeroom! Let's kickstart our day on the right foot! This time together will be a welcoming and fun place to meet friends and gain valuable skills. Together student's will have the opportunity to build a supportive community, build meaningful connections and participate in a positive setting. My classes are fun, relaxed, filled with laughter and kindness, encouraging, positive and supportive! Students are welcome to join at any point as one class does not build upon the next. Each class begins in the same way to build structure. We will start with a new question of the day, goal setting and self affirmation and one event that happened on that day in history. (Example: What is one goal you have for today? If you could travel anywhere where would you go?). After this we will move on to our short activity such as a lesson, experiment, game, guided social time on specific topics, current events, show and tell, making a quick treat or craft. The short lessons on different topics could range from STEM, geography, geology, books etc. Details about each class will be posted a month at a time in the classroom. During the week students will have lots of time to socialize and get to know each other. If you have specific questions about what we will be doing each class (or wish to see the specific schedule for which week we are on) please let me know and I would be happy to share that! Students are always welcome to jump in to our homeroom at anytime as classes do not build upon one another. *This class is meant to be interactive but students are always welcome to participate as much as they feel comfortable. If students wish to not participate I respect that. Week of May 13-17: Let's Get To Know Each Other!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome!
When students are interested in what they are doing, learning they will WANT to learn! I hope that your students will love to learn and become lifelong learners. I want all children to feel comfortable, engaged, encouraged and have fun in my classes I have worked with students from ages 0-14 for over 20 years. I have held several other jobs than teaching which I adored but at this point this is my passion.
My teaching experience comes from multiple sources. Online I have taught thousands of children overseas to learn English through VIPKid. VIPKid (now VIPTeacher) is known for their vigorous standards and training. I have also taught for an elite online program, called Synthesis. Synthesis is an elite program created by the one of the founders of Ad Astra. (Ad Astra is the school that Elon Musk created at SpaceX.) I have also taught thousands of children right here on Outschool since 2020.
Offline teaching experience comes from teaching at a Montessori pre-school, teaching swim and gym classes, summer camps and Sunday school. I also have taught students with a wide range of mental and physical abilities. All students are welcome in my classes and I am willing to make accommodations if requested.
My education consists of a BA in psychology, a BA in Conflict Resolution, TESL, TEOFL, over 40 online teaching certificates, mental health first aid certification, and palliative care certification.
I have two children who are everything to me. I homeschool them and we love going on adventures together. In my spare time I love travelling, baking, camping, Disney, swimming, the beach, water activities, working out, reading and all things full of sparkle and glitter! You can always find me taking a course or earning some kind of certificate.
Come join me and let's have an adventure together!
