This class is a fun, active and creative opportunity to engage with puppet friends and peers and learn about the alphabet as we share an ongoing space adventure.  Teacher Meredith has over 30 years experience teaching creative drama classes for this age group, and her specialty is finding ways for every learner to engage and contribute to the story in their own special way.

Each day in class we:

-Greet the puppets and our learners for the day. 
-Introduce the letter of the day with a fun game, song or warm-up question.
-Introduce the problem to be solved in the adventure for the day (for example: "we've been invited to a party on Pluto.  What shall we bring?" or "we need to repair our space ship," or "our friend has fallen into a crater!"
-Get suggestions from all learners and puppets (these suggestions may be given verbally or through movement depending on learner preferences).  Depending on the skill level and interests of the particular group of learners, this process may include drawing a picture of their idea and/or practicing writing the letter of the day or a word that starts with that letter.
-Act out our adventure, including working as a team to solve our problem for the day.  Our letter of the day will be woven in to the adventure.
-Celebrate our solution to the problem and practice writing a simple word related to our adventure, starting with the letter of the day.

Hello! My name is Meredith.  My favorite thing to do is CREATE in community, and that includes collaborating with my community of learners here on Outschool.  I love providing students with tools to communicate effectively and tell stories through writing, acting, movement, improvisation, drawing and design. I feel inspired as I watch their skills grow during our work together. I enjoy using my imagination and 30 years of teaching experience to plan each new class and customize the curriculum to match my students' interests and learning goals. Working in partnership with families and students is important to me, because as a parent I know how much it means to have a teacher take the time to really get to know my child and help them get the most out of an educational experience.
PLEASE NOTE:  For most of July and August of 2023 I will be taking a break from teaching any live online classes.  I look forward to seeing you in late August or September!

When I'm not teaching you can find me acting, directing or writing plays and books. 
Some of my favorite acting roles include a monster, a fairy, a movie star and a queen.
I also like to play with my cat, draw, dance and take long walks by the lake near my home in Seattle, Washington, USA.  

I grew up in New York City and received my BA at Yale College. I have performed and taught in many towns and cities in the United States.  Some of my most inspiring experiences have been my years with Living Stage in Washington, DC and at Seattle Children's Theatre.  I have also written a chapter book:  "The Ghostlight Kids Get Hooked," an adventure that takes place backstage in a theater.

I would say the skill that most defines me as a teacher is listening carefully to what each student has to offer and weaving that into the direction a class is taking, whether that means centering a story on students' suggestions or recalibrating a lesson plan on the spot.  My oldest child (now an adult) is neurodivergent, and I find that my experiences with my child and other ND students has made me a good partner for learners with a wide range of learning styles. 

In addition to teaching creative drama, acting and Improv I have taught Math, Language Arts, Health Ed concepts and Science concepts to small groups of learners.  I have training in trauma informed practices as well as techniques for teaching Social Emotional Learning through the Arts. I have experience leading friendship groups and community service projects.

I have been teaching for over 30 years and every day is a new, exciting adventure. I learn as much as I teach!
