Can you solve a mystery? During this class, I will read short mysteries. It will be up to you to listen for the clues in the story that lead to the solution. You won't need a fingerprint kit to reach your conclusion. You will need to be able to use logic and reasoning. All mysteries are age appropriate. These mysteries are a great way to practice inferencing, reasoning, and listening skills. I ask the learners to type their answers into the chat which is sent to me privately. I do this to allow all learners a chance to answer the mysteries. I make sure to call on all learners. If your child chooses not to use the chat function, that is fine. ** All classes will begin on time as long as there is at least one learner in the classroom. If there are no students in the class 10 minutes after the class start time, the teacher will exit the classroom. This class cannot be taught with zero students. No recording will be available for classes with zero attendance.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a creative, enthusiastic teacher who wants all children to be successful learners through the encouragement of creative expression. I have spent the last seventeen years developing the necessary skills to achieve this goal. It is very important to me that every child learns in a fun and engaging manner.
During my career as a teacher, I have been an English department chair, technology representative, curriculum writer, and classroom teacher. In each of these roles, I have gained knowledge that I have been able to apply in my classroom.
I am particularly proud of the “Teacher of the Year” award I earned in 2011. I have always strived to be the best teacher possible. I bring creativity and innovation to my instruction. I enjoy creating lessons that inspire, motivate, and facilitate the learning of every child.
I hope to see your child in my classroom soon.
