Dear Santa
12:26
Description
We're practicing creative writing skills in this class by composing a letter to Santa; with a step-by-step video guiding learners through the different parts.
This is a single-lesson sample of the larger "Dear Friend" class!
A bite-sized price for a bite-sized class. Recommended for Ages 7-12
Let's get together and practice the art of written communication through letter writing! This self-paced class contains a video walking learners step-by-step through how to write individual and custom Dear Santa letters using either templates provided or self-supplied paper.
Through a fun instructional video, the teacher will introduce and demonstrate the structure and format of a letter, including:
Date
Salutation
Body
Closing
Signature
The teacher will suggest options of content to include, as well as offer some samples for writing inspiration. Learners are encouraged to follow along, pausing to fill in each section in turn with their own original, custom content.
Templates are provided for use in writing letters, but learners can also use their own: plain or lined paper, stationery, cards, etc. A separate template and video will also be provided to demonstrate formatting for envelopes.
Learners should already know how to write independently, and will need something to write with, something to write on, and optionally something to color/draw with.

Bringing the practical to the digital.
Hello. My name is Heidi. I've been homesteading for two decades, and homeschooling as long as I've had a school-age kid. I think that learning happens both intentionally and experientially, and there is something to be said for serious indoor study, as well as having fun and just exploring the world.
I have been taking care of the family farm for more than 20 years; tending garden, orchard, a timber stand, and raising dairy goats, chickens, and waterfowl. My family started and operates a goat milk soap business and my husband creates and carves with a CNC he built and programmed himself.
I've been teaching for more than ten years, with extensive experience both in the classroom and online platforms, with students ranging from kindergarten through grad school. I have taught at private schools, college campuses, and homeschool co-ops. I have also taught virtually in both the master's of education and doctorate of education programs at Concordia University Online. In fact, as of 2026, I have taught well over 6,000 live online classes, reaching more than 4,200 unique students.
So come learn with me, whether your classroom has four walls or no walls. Let's have fun learning online!
