During this fun fast-paced class, we will travel around and visit each continent. In the first week, we will review the five oceans of the world using a song with Flocabulary and learning three facts about each ocean. The PowerPoint slides for each class use real photographs to give your learner a peek into each continent! It includes maps, geographical information, animals, climate, cities, and important places to see! The classes not only covers geography but also science, history and so much more. We will also review short videos of animals and places. Students will have the opportunity to discuss the facts we learn in class and add their own interesting facts. Each day I will post links to optional work to expand the lesson at home with ideas that may include crafts, videos, games, science experiments, and more. Students are encouraged to complete maps provided by the teacher before and after class. Come travel with me and see the world. Where do you want to visit next? *Note- This class is NOT modeled after the TV Show.

(Reviews from Summer Camp) "Excellent! Carmen was so engaging and had such well-planned and thought out lessons. My son learned a great deal and really enjoyed it. From experiencing teachers attempt to teach online, it can be quite challenging to keep a group of students interested and engaged the whole time. Carmen did an exceptional job!" Whitney "So much fun! The kids learned physical and cultural geography in an engaging and collaborative environment. My daughter loved every minute of class!" Maggie

Teacher expertise and credentials
Greetings from North Carolina! I am a homeschool mom of two and a teacher of many. I have a bachelor’s degree with a major in Accounting and a minor in Child Development with over thirty years of teaching experience. I have taught from age three to adult in a variety of subjects. I have taught in the classroom and at educational conferences. I taught in a preschool for ten years and then taught a broad range of subjects for the last twelve years. For the past five years, I have been teaching online where I have taught ESL, AP Art History, High School Economics, History and Social Studies (all grade levels), Elementary Science, Middle and High School Geography, High School Public Speaking, and High School US Government. I especially have loved teaching and exposing students to traditions and customs around the world and about their very own through genealogy classes. I am passionate that education should instill a love of learning first and foremost.
Join me on an exciting adventure as we travel around the United States in my class – The Amazing Race- USA Edition. Or learn what it takes to become a millionaire in Who Wants to Be Millionaire? which is a financial literacy class for middle and high school students. I get to share my love of art, music, and poetry in my Charlotte Mason classes.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy traveling, reading, and scrapbooking. My children and I have visited all one hundred counties in my state, all fifty states in the United States, and many countries. We have had many adventures. I hope you will join me for my next adventure in the classroom.
Most of my classes depend on learner participation and discussion, please let me know ahead of time if you would prefer me to NOT encourage your student to do so.
If you have 4 to 8 students, who want to take a class together, please contact me, and I will try to set that up for you. There is something for everyone!
Please email me with questions. Happy Adventuring!
