Bio:

My name is Heather Watson, and I am so excited to have this opportunity to teach history to your precious children through the Historical Characters American Girl Books. Here's a little about me. First and foremost, I am a Christian who loves Jesus! I have always enjoyed being a part of a church community and have taught Sunday school for many of my adult years. I am the wife of a handsome husband who juggles owning his own business and family life very well. I am a mama to three beautiful children. Our youngest is a Freshman in High School, our middle child is a Freshman in College, and our daughter just graduated from Grand Canyon University and is off to Law School! I have homeschooled each of our children throughout the years and praise God for the moments I have had with them as their teacher. After teaching children in Russia and Armenia, I attended National University and then taught at Western Christian Schools (on and off) for over twenty years. During this time, I witnessed a gap and a need for children to understand how to conduct themselves in different social situations. This led me to create Social Graces Civility classes. I have taught from pre–K to high school in several schools. I love teaching and look forward to this fun-filled, educational American Girl History class!
