As a mom of three little ones and having taught in both the classroom and library setting, I know how important it is to develop good writing habits at an early age. This class is designed for your child to have fun expressing themselves through art and then connecting it to writing. I am very passionate about learning and love to help young students share that same joy.  Allowing your child to be in the driver's seat of their learning, makes the process more meaningful and allows them to be vested in their work. 

You will find my personality to be energetic and enthusiastic which makes for a very fun and upbeat class. I love connecting to students by finding about their likes and interests. Our drawing time will be a way to help foster creativity and share a common connection with the other learners. Creating a safe and risk-free learning environment helps your child feel comfortable in writing and share with our class and something I strive for in every lesson I teach. I hope your child will love coming each week to draw and write in this interactive class!
