sewing, gardening, baking, reading.

In the past, I've instructed children in minor sewing projects such as making clothes for their small dolls and stuffed toys.

I've taught seniors in a Senior Center, how to sew using a pattern. Teaching children about the importance of taking care of plants, learning about the growth system from outside gardening to house plants, brings joy to the children as well as myself.

children love to bake. teaching them how to measure and blend ingredients together is a great way to teach math while doing something fun.

I have found it very rewarding to read to older citizens, as well as to children. Many seniors are not able to see clearly enough anymore to enjoy reading their favorite newspaper articles. And there's nothing more comforting than reading a story to a child. It delights them, and helps their imagination to soar!
