Demystify the art of candle making in this engaging candle making class with instructor Cafi!
 Guided step by step, you’ll explore different types of waxes, practice precise wicking techniques and blend fragrant oils to create a custom scent. The class also covers safety basics, including temperature control and melting methods, to ensure a smooth process. You’ll prepare your materials, pour your own candle and finish with a decorative label for a personal touch. By the end, you’ll take home a beautifully crafted candle that’s entirely your own.
 Every candle-making class is hosted in a fun local venue, from cozy wineries to lively breweries, distilleries or bars. The location changes by date, and you can see the exact spot when choosing your session.

In 2018, Carmen Conner became principal of Pineview Elementary School. Just a few miles away, Dr. Nicole Patton-Terry became a professor at the Florida Center for Reading Research. They were working toward the same goal — helping more children learn to read — but they had never met.
When Patton-Terry reached out to Conner, the two discovered they each had something the other needed. Patton-Terry brought decades of research on reading development. Conner brought deep knowledge of her students, teachers, and school community. Together, they built a partnership that combined research, professional learning, and classroom expertise to improve reading instruction and student achievement.
Join journalist Emily Hanford for a conversation with Patton-Terry and Conner about what it takes to bring the science of reading into schools, followed by an audience Q&amp;A. Immediately after the program, an informal “Into Practice” session is hosted by educators from The Reading League-DC.
Schedule: 9:00–9:45 a.m. — Pastry reception (Planet Word Lobby) 10:00 a.m. — Program begins 11:30 a.m. — Into Practice session (Classroom B; best for working educators)<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/160899/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
