In this class beginner drawing class, we will celebrate the holiday season together by making a colorful holiday train picture! Since learner ability will vary, we will keep it very simple; using rectangles, circles and triangles. Then, for learners who are ready for a little more, we will work on patterns (such as using starlight candies for wheels, making candy canes, etc) and outlining, as well as other ideas for objects usually seen in this season, like adding lights, a snowman and other details. The main goal is to just give the learner a positive and fun experience with creative and suggested/directed drawing. Holiday pictures are super fun because kids love using their imaginations to come up with lots of ideas and even stories as they draw. They always amaze me in this way! This a fun, relaxed and low pressure environment. Creativity is encouraged! Bring your whole box of crayons and amaze each other with your colors and imagination! This age range will be 4-7. Parental assistance might be necessary for younger learners but we'll keep the shapes basic and embellish from there! I like to keep mics open in class for conversation, but I know that life happens and backgrounds can be noisy, especially if we have a full class. In these situations, for instruction, I will mute the learner but will frequently ask them to unmute so that they can speak and share their artwork because seeing everyone else's drawings and how different they all are is an incredibly fun part of class...and so is conversation! Learners from all backgrounds are welcome and in order to incorporate those learners who may not celebrate Christmas, we will keep this particular class as a "winter holiday" which is secular in nature. We will learn very briefly (very briefly because these are very young learners) how trains became associated with winter holidays though, (such as the popularity of toy train sets being given on Christmas and Hanukkah in the earlier part of the 20th century) as well as how trains were a traditional way to travel home for the holidays. :) We'll look at pictures of gingerbread and candy trains for ideas for inspiration! Suggested ideas: if the learner is able, using a pencil for the initial drawing in order to erase mistakes or fixing lines, and then tracing over it with a colored pencil or crayon, to outline the edges is how I teach this. In my cover photo, I used a combination of both crayons and colored pencils. I would recommend either or both of these mediums.

教師の専門知識と資格
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!
