This class is for students who have taken all the other mystery classes (Deductive Detectives, More Deductive Detectives, Training to Be a Super Sleuth, etc) and are ready for another challenge. It's time for another round of solving the case! This case is slightly harder than before and requires more in-depth thinking and reasoning. This class prompts students to sharpen their thinking skills while refining their questions. Discussions at the end of class encourage students to see how critical thinking skills are necessary in our everyday lives as well as future professions. Students will work together as a team, asking yes/no questions to discover the solution to the riddle. It will be an informal and lively conversation. They will solve the case by the end of class. If times allows, they can solve a second mystery.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Michigan Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hi! I'm teacher Veronica. I've been teaching for over 20 years. I’ve taught in both brick-and-mortar classrooms as well as online. I’ve been homeschooling my children since they were in kindergarten. I LOVE to memorize. I started memorizing large passages in 2010 and it's become an addiction with me. I'm offering classes that teach students how to memorize using classic poems. Not only does your child walk away with a poem memorized but more importantly he/she is learning a life-long skill of how to memorize and retain the passage. I'm also enjoying creating classes on problem solving. In these classes, students enjoy solving a mystery, but more importantly I'm teaching them how to think critically and ask questions. I'm laying a foundation of what problem solving looks like and how it can be used in our every day lives. My husband and I lived in Alaska for 18 years with our three children. We now reside in Michigan with our kids, one cat and one dog. One of my favorite things to do is walk around our neighborhood with my husband and enjoy the beauty. In Alaska we even walked when it was -30 degrees.
