課堂經歷

Welcome to "Backyard Birds", a Waldorf-inspired class meticulously crafted to immerse young learners in a harmonious blend of nature exploration and artistic expression. Rooted in the Waldorf philosophy, the class is thoughtfully designed to offer a predictable rhythm, fostering a sense of security and connectivity with the natural world.

In this course, students will embark on a journey to explore the diverse and enchanting bird species native to North America. Each week, our young bird enthusiasts will delve into the lives of a different feathered friend, unraveling the mysteries of their life cycle, diet, unique adaptations, migration patterns, nesting habits, and conservation status.

As the class commences in the winter season, the first ten sessions will focus on birds that have expertly adapted to the cold weather, making the most of the winter wonderland that is their home. From the charming chickadee to the resilient red cardinal, students will learn about the incredible strategies these birds employ to thrive in chilly climates.

But that's not all! Our young ornithologists will also have the thrilling opportunity to listen to the distinct calls of each bird, adding an auditory dimension to their learning experience. The class aims to engage students creatively, offering them the chance to express their newfound knowledge through art. Each session will conclude with a drawing activity, allowing students to illustrate the featured bird and showcase their artistic talents.

Throughout the course, students will not only develop a deeper understanding of North American birds but also cultivate an appreciation for wildlife conservation. By learning about the conservation status of each bird, students will gain awareness of the importance of preserving these remarkable creatures and their habitats.

The "Backyard Birds" class is more than just an educational experience; it's a journey into the captivating world of avifauna that will inspire a lifelong love for nature. Join us as we spread our wings and explore the skies together!

Students may join at any time! 

December 4: Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus): Known for its cheerful call and distinctive black cap, the black-capped chickadee is a small, hardy bird that can be found in a variety of habitats, including backyards.

December 11: Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis): Recognizable by its slate-gray plumage and white underparts, the dark-eyed junco is a ground-feeding bird commonly seen foraging for seeds on lawns during winter.

December 18: Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis): With its vibrant red plumage, the northern cardinal adds a splash of color to winter landscapes. These birds are known for their distinctive crest and melodious songs.

January 1: American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis): Often referred to as the "wild canary," the American goldfinch retains its bright yellow plumage even during the winter months. They are frequently spotted at bird feeders.

January 8: Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor): Recognized by its tufted crest and attractive plumage, the tufted titmouse is an energetic bird that thrives in woodlands and suburban areas, especially during colder seasons.

January 15: Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens): The smallest woodpecker in North America, the downy woodpecker is a common sight at backyard feeders, busily searching for insects and seeds on tree trunks.

January 22: White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis): With its distinctive head-first descent down tree trunks, the white-breasted nuthatch is a charming bird that frequents wooded areas and is known for its nasal call.

January 29: House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus): Originally from the western United States, house finches are now widespread and can be found in urban and suburban areas, bringing lively chirps to backyard feeders.

February 5: Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis): Similar in appearance to the white-breasted nuthatch, the red-breasted nuthatch has a striking red patch on its breast. It's often found in coniferous forests.

Welcome to  The Friendly Forest School! 

I come to you with a wealth of knowledge, classroom experience, and a passion for teaching young children though play. 

My classes follow a Waldorf-inspired approach that focuses on the holistic development of children, ensuring that academic skills are nurtured in an engaging and imaginative manner.

A predictable peaceful rhythm, delightful melodies, American Sign Language, and captivating tales (often set in the Friendly Forest) infuse every lesson, making learning a joyful exploration!I 

By embracing the ebb and flow of nature's cycles, my goal is to help children feel grounded, secure, and ready to absorb knowledge with open hearts and curious minds.

ABOUT ME: 

My journey began in the summer of 2001 when I had an internship in Early Childhood Education at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. After graduating from Purdue University with my Bachelors Degree, I began working as a social worker and case manager for young children in LaPorte, Indiana. 

I  then moved to Phoenix, AZ and started my journey in Special Education, working as an in-home therapist for children with Autism and other developmental disabilities. I specialized in building expressive language through American Sign Language. Additionally, I focused on treating the whole child though sensory integration and positive behavior support. In 2005 I was named by the Governor as Arizona's "Caregiver of the Year"!  

In 2006, I obtained my Masters Degree in Special Education and began working in a K-6 Self Contained Classroom. During this time I worked to develop an award winning School-wide Positive Behavior Intervention Support program based entirely on peace and mindfulness. I was awarded the "You Make a Difference" award by the Osborn School District for my work on this project!
 
My daughter, Eleanor, was born in 2010. In 2013 I left the classroom to be a full-time mama. My youngest daughter, Annalise, was born in 2013. During this time I began to adopt Waldorf philosophies at home and began homeschool using Waldorf and Montessori inspired pedagogy. 

In 2017, I started my own Early Childhood Center called "Let's Play Learning". The developmentally appropriate curriculum was based on the view that children learn best when they are actively exploring the natural world and a carefully constructed environment in the company of their caregiver and directed by loving, professionally prepared teachers. I closed my doors at the beginning of the pandemic and began teaching online, which I love!  

In my classes I strive to create a culture of peace and mindfulness while teaching academic skills through nature, imaginative play, storytelling, and artistic expression. 

I now live with my family just five minutes away from beautiful Lake Michigan.
