Courtney Arnold

Hello friends! I'm looking forward to teaching your children. A little about me - I am 18 years married to a brilliant and adventurous husband named Juddy.  Our girls are Reese - 15 and Ensley Hope - 7. Both of our girls have been in a homeschool charter or homeschool hybrid for the last seven years. The shift to more of a homeschool model has been a gift to our family and I see the fruit year after year!

I graduated from the University of Florida with degrees in Hospitality Management as well as Travel and Tourism.  I spent seventeen years running my own event planning company producing events + high end weddings all over the country. I became a jack of all trades in this industry and it has suited our pivot to a homeschool model very well!  For the last couple of years I've been in the classroom two days per week teaching Cooking for Kids, Crazy Science Lab, Spectacular Science as well as subbing in anything from Pottery to Kindergarten, Stories Come Alive to Dance.  I use a hands-on, tactile approach to all of my classes so children have the chance to move out of their seats and try new things.  We laugh together, we work together and we learn together.  When I'm not in the classroom, I'm a Group Fitness Coach as well as a Wellness Advocate for Green Compass. At home we spend time in the kitchen together baking as well as lots of time outside at the beach, long walks, riding dirt bikes at the track and attending soccer/track meets for our girls.

I look forward to having a wonderful school year getting to know my students and helping them to love the Spanish language!

 

Keris Binder

Hi! I'm Keris, long time child educator with a passion for child-led learning! In my classroom, you’ll find students engaged in super interesting, thematic based units filled with opportunities for hands-on learning. You’ll see children having thoughtful discussions, asking critical questions, and working in pairs and small groups to create and problem solve. And, most importantly, in my classroom, you’ll see a room full of children who feel connected, important and valued; a room of children who feel seen, heard and loved by their teacher. Because that space is where great learning happens. ?? On a personal note, I live in La Costa with my husband, three kids and our rescue pup. ?? I’ve been homeschooling my kids since 2020 and loving the freedom, flexibility, and community that homeschool life has brought us!

Kyler Crawford

Hi my name is Kyler Crawford. One of my biggest passions in life is pouring into our next generation and helping develop them into becoming who God has called them into being. One way I do this is getting our youth happier and healthier. It is harder to impact others around us in a positive way if we are unhappy and unhealthy. I have been a junior high leader at our church for over 5 years helping run summer camps, after school events and of course youth church services every week. I was in the United States Navy for 5 years and was my commands physical fitness leader. I learned skills in the military to become more active and more healthy. I am passionate about fitness as I am continuing my education at Palomar College this semester to become a guiding light to getting us healthier and happier. I am looking forward to partnering with you, as the parent, to pour into your child to enjoy being active to where they will grow up to continue their physical fitness journey. We will be getting creative on different ways to teach an active healthy lifestyle and will be using our general motor skills ie; hand eye coordination, balance, mobility and using functional fitness to obtain a healthier lifestyle.

BEGINNER SEWING CLASS

This beginner sewing class is for kids with little or no experience. In the class students will have tons of fun while learning this life skill. They will gain confidence through sewing craft projects like a felt doll, pencil case, seasonal themed crafts items, and pillow just to name a few. During these tasks the students will be measuring, cutting, sewing to a quarter inch, using color theory and expressing their creativity. For the first projects they will be learning to hand sew and using different types of stitches to complete the projects. The class will then be introduced to sewing with a machine which, includes learning all the parts, how to thread, spool thread, and the different types of stitches machines offer in sewing. Near the end of the course we will collaborate as a group completing a sewing project for charity in addition to the individual craft sewing.
