Duct tape Snow Goggles With the use of Power Point slides, pictures, videos and live demonstrations, the above survival hacks will be explained and/or created. Students are welcome to make as many of the hacks as they wish in class- with the exception of the fire starters. These can be practiced with a parent or other responsible adult outside of class. A list of materials will be provided. Most of the materials can be found around the home. At the end of class, students can share other survival hacks that they are familiar with, Questions and discussion from students will be encouraged. No previous knowledge of the subject matter is required. My classes are very relaxed and a great place for learners to engage and discuss interesting ideas and topics related to camping, hiking and survival.

Hello! My name is Beth Price and I am a certified teacher for grades Kindergarten through 3rd. I have taught students for over 20 years in a preschool setting, Kindergarten, 1st grade and online ESL classes. I have also home-schooled two of my children in their middle school and high school years.
I enjoy teaching all subjects but my passion is teaching Language Arts, Social Studies and Science. I believe that students learn best when they are actively engaged in a lesson--moving, singing, and participating!
I live in Tennessee with my husband and 2 dogs, and enjoy reading, sewing, gardening and spending time with my children and grandchildren.Reviews
