In this social club, for ages 6-10, we will spend our time building friendships, growing in our confidence, working on our social skills, and practicing following social cues.  

Each class will have a new coloring sheet, which will be posted in the classroom to be printed off before our meeting.  The color sheets provide a creative and fun outlet for the learner to engage with from the very beginning of class. For our shy learners, this gives them a discussion point and something to relate to the other students right away. This also helps us keep our focus, as our young learner's brains are capable of doing so many things at once. 

Learners will participate in guided conversation as they color, answer a variety of fun, silly questions, share their hobbies, and find things to relate to their peers. Students will be asked to share what the best part of their week was, allowing them to give their new friends a peek into their daily lives. It also allows learners to develop social support skills while listening to their classmates share about their week.   

This class is sure to be a fun one for your learners, no matter how social they are! 
 
MY TEACHING STYLE: 
My goal as a teacher is to make each student feel seen, loved, appreciated, and encouraged throughout our class time. I desire each student to leave class feeling better and brighter than when they logged in. I believe in positive encouragement, and helping my students find their confidence in who they are, along with making sure they have fun during our time together. 
I graduated with a bachelor's in Psychology, specifically focused on adolescent Psychology.  Bringing this information into my classrooms helps me to connect with the students, grow their social abilities, understand where they are within their formative years, and create a more inviting and safe environment for every student to learn. 

I have a bubbly, bright, and fun personality, and I love to spend time connecting with kids to help them grow. It is one of my greatest joys to get to teach.
