A 38-page Exploratory Course, “Seeing Stars” by Laura Oliphant 
For Ages 3-5 and Grades K-2nd
 
Children will explore the stars and constellations above and learn that each person has a unique perspective.

Bio:
Laura is a licensed Early Childhood and Montessori 3-6 Educator. Originally from Oklahoma, she currently resides in Denver, Colorado. Laura has worked with children in a variety of capacities since 2003, including teaching English in South Korea and teaching children’s yoga.
These days she teaches PreK full time and develops curriculum part time.Laura’s goal in teaching young children is to plant and nurture a life-long love of learning. When a child has learned to recognize their own needs and starts to take responsibility for having those needs met, they have the capacity to build knowledge of the world around them. Therefore, emotional intelligence is essential to academic growth as well as becoming a global citizen.
When she’s not teaching or writing, Laura enjoys spending time with her family. Skiing, hiking, running, camping, and practicing yoga are favorite pastimes. Just as she teaches children to have their mental, emotional, and physical needs met, she practices prioritizing these needs in her own life.
