✨ Effective communication is essential. I aim to respond to parent messages within 24 hours on weekdays. In the classroom, I provide a monthly suggested supply list and voluntary weekly homework recommendations. I like to share art examples that I have created during the week and encourage students (if they feel comfortable) to post their artwork in our classroom for all to enjoy! 

📹 This class caters to live learners who enjoy real-time interaction and busy learners who prefer to watch recordings at their convenience.

🌸 At any time if a parent requests, I am always pleased to provide a letter of recommendation including a detailed summary of class content covered and/or a progress report reflecting the student's achievements + development.  This class caters to live learners who enjoy real-time interaction and busy learners who prefer to watch recordings at their convenience. 

🌸  I am sensitive to all learners, please send me a private message about specific topics or subjects you would prefer me to exclude from all lessons and I will do my best to accommodate. For example, you might say something like- we do not celebrate holidays and I will completely avoid mentioning Santa and the Easter Bunny in our class.
