Welcome to Learn With Cat where creative storytelling and corporate event planning merge to create unique activities for your kids to interact and learn while having fun!
A Bit About Me, Professionally…
Hi! My name is Cat Blount and I have been writing stories for more than ten years as a published author, illustrator, and publisher. I also design “stories” and adventures, in the form of challenges, for my learners in Roblox and Minecraft! Whom do I write for? Well, children, but anyone can read and appreciate my books! If you are interested, you can find them here http://www.catblountstories.com! Whom are my classes for? 10-12 year old children. This age group is perfect for my challenges!
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing and an Associate’s Degree in Merchandising. Since 2013, I have been my kids’ learning coach through an online, fully-accredited private school. I instruct and assist in courses in Language Arts [writing skills, handwriting, spelling, literature and comprehension, vocabulary, composition, grammar use and mechanics], history, mathematics, and science. Since 2011, I have traditionally taught my children at home.
I also provided fully immersive one-on-one English language instruction to grade children on a different continent, as well as designed material-related award systems to compliment teaching materials. This was my first venture into online learning!
I continued in the online world through a platform called Outschool. There I met my wonderful learners and they were introduced to “Cat’s Challenges and Friends!”
I am on my own now. All my courses are based here, at home, where they belong! I do not have the following that the other platforms offer, or the online presence, but I do have the passion and love for what I do! I am NOT good at social media, so you will not find much there, but meet me here on my website for all the information you need about me and my courses, and to connect with me directly!
A Bit About My Courses…
What started off as one Roblox course turned into a mix of different themes and opportunities for kids to learn very important life skills doing what they love => SPENDING TIME IN ROBLOX! I took my years in the corporate world planning meetings and merged it with my years in the creative realm, as a prolific children’s book author and illustrator, and BOOM – Cat’s Challenges and Friends! What an absolute pleasure I have, utilizing both loved experiences, to bring to your child creative, unique activities and adventures designed specifically and especially for them!

A Bit About Me, Personally…
Let me see…. I am married to my best friend! He and I have been married for over twenty-three years! We have wonderful children, and they ALWAYS make us laugh! My best times and memories are with these beautiful people I have been blessed with!
My dream is to live on a farm and raise small animals, and have my own fruit trees, and a pond for fishing! I truly like this dream.
I am a very private person, so social media does not come easy to me, and I do not share much, but I am a wonderful listener [everyone tells me that!].
I thank God for everyone and everything he has blessed us with and for loving us so very much!
Roblox and Minecraft
I started using Minecraft and Roblox years ago. They are neat platforms to house my interest-based courses! I design and/or build challenges that naturally encourages learners to practice and/or learn specific soft skills. They team up, work together, and use critical thinking to complete thought-provoking tasks. They learn how to work at what they want the outcome to be, and they learn to do it being perfect sports! They are set up in situations where they have to either depend on each other to complete my tasks, or depend on their own drive when it is a solo-feat.
My learners grow bonds, interact, and have a lot of fun all while learning, which surpasses any win in my visits, and THESE facts form my motivation for designing these courses!
I do not work for Roblox, but I am on the list of Roblox Educators!
I invite your kids to experience Roblox and Minecraft in a unique, new, and captivating way – a way they will love in an environment they are familiar with, and a way you will appreciate.
I cannot wait to see you in my courses, and I look forward to each fun, enlightening, and adventurous moment!
Read what some are saying :-D!
“This (and Cats other classes) have been my sons favorite this Summer. They are fun, engaging, and have taught some great skills. Yes, it is Roblox. But the way Cat runs the meetings, breaking the kids into small team groups, encouraging collaboration, and letting them becoming comfortable speaking up in a virtual platform is fantastic. My son started 5th grade this week in an entirely virtual environment. He’s comfortable with zoom, connecting with friends, speaking up and actively participating … all skills he learned with Cat.” – Jennifer
“My son had such a great time. After the class he couldn’t stop talking about details of his on line adventure to me. He is typically a quieter and my introverted child, Cat created a wonderful and encouraging space to allow the social interactions as well as learning. A fabulous social club with a fcus on developing teamwork, communication skills and cooperation. Cat has a wonderful and dynamic presence.” – Suzanne
“Our daughter LOVED this class and is begging to do another. Cat was awesome, encouraging all of the kiddos to work together and keeping them engaged. Thanks for creating this fun and safe interaction for these kids!” – Amanda
“My daughter had a fantastic time doing this class! The teacher was very organised, as well as being kind and encouraging. Hopefully we’ll be able to do another of her classes very soon :)” – Leah
“My 11 year old son has done so many of these classes with Cat and he LOVES THEM. It’s his favorite thing and he asks for them all the time. Cat is the best at this and I highly recommend these classes if your child loves Roblox 
” – Amy
“My daughter had a great time playing live with other children her age in a positive environment. She worked with the other kids and each of them succeeded. Thank you!” – Kristen
“My son has taken Cat’s classes many times now, and every single time he ends the session with a huge smile on his face and asks when he can take the next class. We’ve already signed up for another session!” – Carla
I love what I do and hopefully your children will too!
Warmly,
Cat
