Welcome to the game club where learners can play their favorite game Among Us! We will strategize and share ideas on how to catch one or several imposters in the game. Learners will work as a team whether they are on the crew-mates or imposter side. The teacher will act as facilitator and moderator to ensure the club’s gameplays run smoothly. Club members will have the opportunity to participate in mini games inside the Among Us game such as hide and seek elimination, four corners, imposter location, mafia game (plus +20 more!). Take in-game screenshots of your fun and best moments in Among Us and share them with other club members on the classroom page! Learners are required to use 1 device to log onto Outschool and a 2nd device to join the game. Please have your game updated by visiting the app store where the game was downloaded from and do a test run before class to check if your are able to join North America servers. We will begin first gameplay 5 minutes into class after welcoming players. Players will have the opportunity to join in the game lobby using a private code once each game finishes and before the start of the next game. We will go over the rules in class, and the teacher may assign club members extra tasks or roles in game such as sabotage, fixing lights, etc. Come join the fun! What side are you on?

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am Teacher Amber! I am passionate about teaching young learners ages 3-7 to read and write and will center my Outschool classes on penmanship and phonological awareness like alliteration, rhyming, and blending words. I have experienced first hand as a long term Kindergarten permanent substitute how my students were all at different levels of reading and writing. I always found time to sit down and help them improve their writing and fluency skills. I have earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, Teacher & Bilingual Education through the traditional teaching program from Texas A&M University from Kingsville, TX where I took courses on child development and the Foundations of Literacy Instruction. Through this program, I have been able to exchange ideas and teaching strategies with other teachers in the program and learn from others’ teaching philosophies while developing my own philosophy around progressivism.
I completed two semester long classroom observations for a kindergarten class and a 2nd grade class where I guided student-dictated reading prompts for students to write in their journals following a read aloud story. When I graduated, I received my Texas Educator Certificate in Core Subjects EC-6 in December 2017 allowing me to teach a variety of subjects to learners in early childhood through 6th grade. I hope I can transfer over to the Outschool online teaching platform the invaluable knowledge and skills I acquired over the years from my classroom experiences and education.
Something fun about me is that I love drawing! I remember when I was 9, I had uncovered the amazing world of anime and manga. It has opened my eyes to something new and exciting! My first anime I fell in love with was Inuyasha, followed by Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, and Cased Closed. I always drew in my sketchbook any opportunity I could get. I joined my art clubs in middle and high school. I picked up a few more mediums along the way like painting and clay sculpting. I want to teach art like "How To" Drawings and paintings. I have had years of practice drawing and sketching since my childhood because of my fascination with anime and manga. That fascination has never died! I will love to teach children of different age ranges 4-8 and 9-13 depending on the complexity of the drawings. I want to incorporate my love for drawing into my teaching style.Reviews
