Hi! I'm Ms. Carri, a homeschool mom who loves to help others foster a genuine love for learning. For the past 18 years, I have taught enrichment classes in charter schools and homeschool co-ops. As a lifelong learner I enjoy teaching about many topics, but especially history, art, nature, literature, storytelling, and character-building.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll likely find me reading, cooking, gardening, creating art, or playing strategy games with my children. I am always enrolled in one class or another, or I'm learning about a topic I’ve become interested in.
I enjoy turning the topics I’m passionate about into classes for students of all ages. As students attend my classes, I hope they will discover for themselves the gift of lifelong learning.

Herbal Adventures: An Introduction To Culinary, Medicinal, and Cosmetic HerbsMy middle daughter is so interested in herbs and cooking, and I feel that it is hard to find classes on those types of topics for her age group. This was a deep class that went into all the benefits of herbs, not just for cooking, but how they help our healthy! My daughter loves talking about how beneficial Rosemary is! She will add herbs into our food and say, "I am going to add this, because it helps with this!"Also, she is very patient with wiggly easily distracted learners, and redirects them kindly so they don't miss anything!

"Bee" of Good CharacterThis class was AWESOME! My kids still talk about bees to this day and how important they are because of this class. It helped them to understand how important they are. They loved the art activity, and also learned so much from the character trait lesson that she did. I love that in so many of her classes, it isn't just about the subject matter, she ties in important aspects like character and kindness.

Little Women Classic Literature Book ClubI thought my 10yo girls might be a little young for Little Women, but I'm so glad I was wrong. Not only did they love the book (the unabridged version!), but they looked forward to their group discussions with Ms. Carri every week. They loved bringing the book to life through the simple projects in class and are not so patiently waiting to watch the movie now so we can compare how accurate it kept to the book.
