A Little Bit Of Everything
This joyful, hands-on class is designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and connection! We’ll explore a mix of exciting subjects—science, art, writing, history, and even some math—through engaging, student-driven activities that feel too fun to be work. Whether we're crafting with recycled treasures or things found in nature, painting with mindfulness, or digging into the wonders of space, the rainforest, layers of the Earth, or Life cycles, each week brings something new to discover.
We’ll play kid-favorite math games like “Lightning Math” and “Delicious Math” (yes—math they ask to play!), and boost spelling and teamwork with word-building races that get kids moving, thinking, and cheering each other on. Every activity is designed not just to grow young minds, but to help students develop confidence, empathy, and strong people skills.
Kindness, encouragement, and character building is at the heart of everything we will do. Students will practice speaking uplifting words, working through challenges with others, and learning what it means to be a great teammate and friend. We’ll even enjoy a group lunch time together, creating space for deeper discussions, silly conversations, and thoughtful moments that deepen peer connection and create lasting memories.
Throughout the year, we’ll also welcome a few special animal and curious creature guests. Our visiting critters are sure to inspire curiosity, observation, and wonder, as well as many new thoughtful questions, bringing our exploration of answers literally to life!
This class offers a warm, welcoming way for kids to grow academically and socially. It's a space where friendships flourish, kindness is practiced, and learning is full of laughter and excitement.
I look forward to meeting you!
