In this class, learners will continue to build on our space exploration class by talking about the earth, planets and other space objects. Students will be able to creatively use their imagination to draw the objects and share them in class. Learners will get the opportunity to comment on the teacher's drawings as well. Learners may interact with the puppets from class in order to help prompt discussion. Learners are encouraged to draw their own interpretation of the objects we discuss.

Learners are encouraged to understand how to "unmute" if called upon in class as occasionally we will have to use the "mute all" function if there is excessive background noise.

Depending on how many learners are enrolled in each of our meetings, our goal is to cover 2 to 5 topics for each meeting. The clubs have a range of 2 to 12 weeks +/-, where each the topics starts over after the meetings are finished. For instance, after week 16, we start back over to week 1, unless we extend it to more meetings.

Most of our classes are listed under the “Arts” or “Life Skills” categories, so my goal is to inspire learners to use their imagination and curiosity when drawing rather than a class that presents specific facts. 

We utilize a casual drawing atmosphere rather than instruction on the specifics of drawing technique or artistic technique. Most of our classes utilize a digital timer from the teacher’s screen, giving each learner a few minutes to draw and then share their drawing if they would like to. It is okay if they do not finish the drawing or if they want to keep drawing the previous topic while other learners continue drawing.

We usually will share our drawings with the class and then move to the next topic after most learners have finished sharing. The order for each week may vary and the lists may combine pending unforeseen circumstances. The teacher reserves the ability to combine material at the teacher's discretion.

Outschool is a phenomenal resource with classes for many ages. While it is my goal to to foster learning and play in my classes, feel free to message me for recommendations of other teachers on Outschool who are great instructors with: dance, singing, acting, piano, violin, drum, exercise, gymnastics, sign language, STEM, robotics, sports, skateboarding, summer camps, mindfulness, manners and more. There are even classes with popular topics like Mario, Pokemon, Paw Patrol and more.

The Mon 10:30AM EST, 12:45 PM EST and 12:45PM Tuesday Class will be on Lesson 1 starting the week of October 24th 2022.


Outschool also has a variety of topics to choose from including homeschool, social clubs, reading, drawing, writing, Spanish, Coding, Sign Language, Japanese, Multiplication and more. 

I also help with ESL learners too that can speak a little bit of Mandarin as I am studying the language.
