About Fancy Nancy Life Skills
Who is Fancy Nancy
My name is Nancy and I'm excited to have you join me in my class. I have taught a variety of children's classes over the past 20 years while successfully homeschooling my now adult children. I bring a diverse and ethnic background that's rich in language, cultures, foods and experiences from my world travels to each in my classes. I believe that the best way to learn is full-immersion into culture and people groups where we can also practice the art of hospitality. All classes take place at my home located in central Murrieta. I look forward to having you join my classes! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Conversational Spanish
As a native speaker, Spanish was my first language! The best way to learn a new language is to practice with fluent friends in full immersion. We will not only cover daily conversations and greetings but play a variety of games, engage in situations-based learning and attune our listening skills to quickly expand your students muscle memory, retention and vocabulary
Introduction to Machine Sewing and Crafting
This is an introductory sewing class where students are taught various hand sewing techniques and machine proficiency. Your student will learn everything from: clothing repair, alterations, fun crafts such as pajama pants, aprons and stuffed animals, clothing design and so much more.
Home Economics and Cultural Cooking
Bring your appetite to enjoy a world-wide sampling of simple, delicious and healthy meals prepared by students. We learn culinary practices such as kitchen/knife safety, proper food handling and prep, baking, sautéing and more to expand even the pickiest of eater's palate.
Students learn the proper etiquette, customary code of polite behavior in society among family members and friend groups.
