Experiencia de clase

In this one time class, we will be using crayons (regular crayons, not washable) and watercolor paints to create some great pictures! 

Drawing is an important skill for developing fine motor skills necessary for handwriting.  Directed drawing helps refine young children's attention to detail, ability to listen and follow sequence, but don't worry, I also allow for tons of creativity in class!  Learners shouldn't be concerned about artistic ability; this is a class that should be fun and comfortable for your child!  As we paint over our drawings, we'll also discuss colors (such as yellow and blue making green.) 

Since this a class for very young children, we will work with basic shapes for directed drawing and ideas for painting.  If your child wants to draw something specific, like ice cream, or butterflies or houses, or outer space, we can work on those together!  

Supplies for this are pretty simple:  wax crayons (not markers), watercolor paints (bottled tempera paint watered down a lot will work, or the simple watercolor palettes of circles of dry paint).  The best kind of paper I've found for this is a heavier bond paper, such as the kind in a sketchbook.  I've done in with regular copier paper as well, it just doesn't work as well.   Please also have a napkin or paper towel for blotting the crayon drawings.  

 Age recommendation is 4 - 6, but a 3 year old could also participate in this as well with parental assistance.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente

Hello from beautiful northern New Jersey!   I'm excited at the opportunity to continue to bring a love for learning to children after homeschooling my own children for the past 20 years.  Since 2017, I have taught over 5700 classes to Chinese students ages 3 to 15.    I have a BA degree in Elementary Education and English Writing (dual major) and an American Literature minor from William Paterson University in New Jersey. I have a New Jersey teaching license for grades K-8, and TESOL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. 

As my children grew, I did a lot of volunteer teaching which includes several years of teaching preschool/kindergarten VBS (Vacation Bible School) and Sunday school classes, as well as teaching Pioneer Girls. In each of these, I heavily incorporated arts, crafts and hands on participation into our curriculum. I also taught a Sunday school class for special needs children for five years. This experience has given me an understanding of children with learning and behavioral challenges. Preschool aged children have always held a special place in my heart in my teaching experience with VIPKID, and I have incorporated puppets, art, and a lot of humor into my online classroom with them with great results.  When I can get a belly laugh out of a student online, my whole day is made!  My teaching style is low pressure with lots of positive encouragement, as I strive to help every child feel that they have something valuable to contribute.  

When I was 12 years old, I discovered what would turn into my lifelong passion; antiques and history. In my early teens, I devoured every book in the library that I could find about antique dolls and toys.  When I grew into adulthood, I channeled my obsession into a business and since 1997, I have owned Suburban Treasure, an online antique and collectibles business.  I am also a professional antique doll restorationist.   

In addition, I am also a self taught artist and since 2004, have created art dolls in my studio "Spring Valley Studios Sasha Dolls".   My dolls have found their ways into collectors' homes all over the world!  

My childhood interests shaped my future career.  I realized in my own children that I very much wanted to foster in them that same love and desire for learning. I try to carry that passion into my classroom!    My heart is in preschool and kindergarten aged learners and I have discovered truly how much I love this age group as I have been teaching it almost exclusively here on Outschool!
I hope to see your child soon in the classroom!
