Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 3
Join me in these fun hands-on lessons where I will provide step-by-step instructions for completing our science experiments. Each week we will gather supplies, print our official science journals, and practice the scientific method. In each lesson, there are some simplified key terms that will be covered with a hands-on approach. There is a team Kahoot quiz at the end of this course covering all of the key terms covered during our 4 weeks together. No account or personal information is required to play the Kahoot game. Learners can compete for a top spot on the leaderboard by taking the quiz as many times as they'd like. Homework assignments include answering the "question of the week" and sharing pictures of their completed science journals. 

WEEK ONE: Germination and Sprouting Seeds - We will be observing our sprouting seeds over the course of about one week. Learn about the parts of a seed, the difference between a root and a shoot and even eat some tasty fresh vegetables! 
WEEK TWO: Fishing For Ice - Let's talk about the states of matter, how salt affects temperature and what can or can't dissolve. Have fun trying to catch as many ice cubes as you can with only a string! 
WEEK THREE: Clouds and Cloud Dough - Learn about the water cycle, and the three main types of clouds, and make cloud dough!
WEEK FOUR: Chemistry Behind Bath Bombs - Have fun learning about neutralization while making bath bombs out of three simple ingredients.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Eastern Michigan University
Hello parents and students, 

I encourage learning through enthusiastic engagement. I believe children learn best through curiosity or play. Teaching online has been my passion since 2015. I was an online English teacher with VIPKID for over three years and an Outschool teacher for ever since. Over the years, I have learned how to engage with students in a virtual setting. I encourage student output and participation during class. 

I have a bachelors degree in marketing and science. I am an entrepreneur and business owner. I have also been in the beauty industry for over 15 years. I am a homeschooling mother to my twin sons and my two daughters. I am constantly seeking creative ways for my children and students to learn new things.
