In this one time class students will have fun stretching their minds with brain teasers, riddles, logic puzzles and optical illusions. We will tackle fun puzzles, solve brain teasers, learn clever math tricks, and develop strong reasoning skills. Students will be given the opportunity to brainstorm and share their ideas, ask their classmates questions, and work together to improve their answers. The class will be set up in the following format: 1) Introductions and welcome 2) A slide slow introducing brain teasers, riddles, logic puzzles, and optical illusions. For each category we will look for important clues together. 3) Share our knowledge together and discuss our ideas. 4) We will collaborate and respect each others ideas. I look forward to meeting your learner very soon!
Learning Goals
We will improve our critical thinking and reasoning skills by solving brain teasers, riddles, and logic puzzles.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello! My name is Teacher Christa, and I'm excited to teach your child! I have a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Saskatchewan! I currently live in Alberta, Canada and teach full time to a Grade 4 class. I teach all subject area including literacy, numeracy, social studies, science, health and art. I started my teaching career as a Kindergarten to Grade 6 music teacher. I then taught a Grade 2/3 class for many years, as well as Grade 2, and now currently Grade 4. I have been teaching for 24 years and each day I get to step into my classroom brings me joy! Primary children are my passion.
Outside of my classroom, I love to spend time with my husband and my 14 year old daughter. We love going for hikes, listening to music, dancing, and traveling!
In my classroom I want to make learning fun, enjoyable and not feel like work! I love seeing a child's face light up when they learn something, and want to make learning an exciting adventure! I look forward to seeing your child in my classroom!
PLEASE NOTE CLASS POLICIES:
- I can only schedule my classes 1-2 week in advance due to work and family scheduling.
- If class enrollment is low, class may be cancelled or it may run shorter than the scheduled time. Also, if classes are full, we may run over our time, depending on how talkative the class is.
- Classes will start on time even if learners are late or absent. If no learners are in the classroom within the first 10 minutes of class, I will leave the classroom. Per Outschool policy "If your learners have not joined the meeting 10 minutes after the start time, the meeting may be canceled at the teacher's discretion. This is considered a missed meeting and you are not entitled to a refund.'
- Per Outschool policy for safety and security, all students are required to turn their cameras on a the beginning of class. Please review Zoom features so you know how to use the camera and microphone features, including Mute and Unmute.
- Parents/Guardians are not required to be present for class, but please be nearby for technical issues.
Per Outschool policy, there are no refunds for missed classes. I am happy to transfer your learner to another session but require 24 hours notice in order to fill your vacated spot prior to class time.
