Welcome to Ms. Jodi's Classroom!

Enter the world of Waldorf education, gifting your child with a relaxed, beautiful space to grow in writing skills while receiving an elite private school education at home!  

In this private individual Waldorf creative writing class, I will work with students on grammar, writing, composition, spelling, editing, and punctuation skills. We will use beautiful fairy tales, animal and nature stories, and multi-cultural tales to make our work interesting and engaging. I will cater each class to my individual student's needs, strengths, and skill set.  I provide all online writing materials, prompts, books, and resources that we use in class. 

My classes are interactive, interesting, and fun.  I keep kids engaged in online learning and help them to feel successful in every class.    This class is best for students in grades 1-7.  Students will improve their writing, grammar, punctuation, and editing skills in this class.  They will have an opportunity to be creative and expansive with their writing, as I encourage their thoughts and we write them down together.  

I will help to draw out the learner's thoughts and help them to form sentences/paragraphs that express what they want the reader to know.  We will also work on narrative writing.  I cover grammar, vocabulary, and editing in each class as needed.  I help them to find good adjectives and to use a thesaurus whenever possible to make their writing stand out.  We also choose transitions for paragraphs and find words to use instead of "said."  We work on adding dialogue to narratives.  

I also use drawing as a pre-writing activity, so students may create a cover and a drawing to put inside their story.  Many students create their own books with their work, as we tend to write longer stories when working together.  

For older students (11+), it is helpful if your student has access to google docs so we can work on the same document together or they can type while screen sharing.  


I always work at the best pace for the individual students and cater and scaffold all classes to their individual strengths and weaknesses.  My goal is for students to feel successful so they want to keep writing.  I have worked with thousands of students around the world both in person and on online to help them to feel confident and peaceful in reading and writing and to feel successful with what they have accomplished.  

Whether we are writing about a pet dragon, or spinning a modern-day Cinderella tale, students will look forward to writing with me!  

I can also work on research and report writing in this class, as well as cursive handwriting.
