This class is a one time early learning social skills class. It will be taught in an interactive story time format. This class will cover healthy ways of dealing with “frustrations “ and hard emotions. During class I will use a story book that I have developed to introduce situations that may be challenging to young people and introduce some healthy ways of dealing with the emotional stress that these situations may cause. There will also be an opportunity after the story to “practice “the skills we introduced. Counting, deep breathing (staircase breathing) blowing bubbles, and talking to trusted adults...
Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I'm Miss Kerry. I will be teaching preschool classes and sharing some fun and exciting circle time activities as well as offering story time for young children. I also will be offering reading/ novel based classes for older learners.
I have been working with and teaching children for fifteen plus years. I began my career shortly after graduation from high school with a local day care center. While there, I worked with a toddler and three year old preschool class. After completing my first bachelor's degree, I accepted a position as a multisystemic therapist, with Adelphi Village in Mercer County, PA . In this capacity, I worked with the teen population. After leaving Adelphi, I took a position with the Bair Foundation as a Foster Care Specialist also in Mercer County, PA . This involved children from birth to age eighteen years of age, although my caseload was mainly birth to age ten. I relocated to Wayne County, PA where I worked as a Preschool and PreK teacher I currently guest teach with the local school district where I teach classes for Kindergarten through 12th grade.
My philosophy of education is very simple, I believe that all children are capable of learning! I also believe they learn best when they are having fun and being encouraged. Children need to feel safe and accepted to allow their minds to open and learn new materials.
I try to put this philosophy into action each and every day as I teach my own children at home. I currently have a 7th grade student and a senior in high school. We "learn" while walking in the park and identifying trees, watching rabbits and squirrels in our yard and making cookies in the kitchen, as well as embracing traditional types of study. Learning is a lifestyle. Embrace it with your children!Reviews
