In this weekly class, learners will socialize and play the Roblox game Brookhaven on a safe, private server. While we play, some gaming etiquette and safety tips will be shared. This class is highly learner led, with the teacher acting as a guide and making sure things stay safe and age appropriate while allowing for the quirkiness and creativity of the group to shine through. Learners can have fun socializing, using props to decorate their own house, and inviting their classmates over to their virtual house for a party! We can ride horses together at the Brookhaven Stables and drive around town in their very own car. Get a job or have fun playing school. The possibilities are seemingly endless! Important note: For the safety and privacy of all learners, class recordings will not be shared.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about internet safety while having fun socializing and playing Brookhaven on a safe, private Roblox server.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students will have to friend the teacher in order to participate on the private server. Because of the nature of Roblox, other students can see their Roblox gamer tag in the game while playing. There are guns in this game, but no weapons are allowed on my server. Students who ignore this rule will be warned three times, and then removed from the server and the parent will be contacted.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Christine, but in 2021, many of my learners started calling me by the nickname Ms. Wish after my gamer handle. I love it and it stuck! I have taught students from infants to senior citizens in various subjects, though I have a special affinity for video gaming, music, math, theater, and language.
During the 2019-2020 school year, I was teaching a self-contained 5th-grade class at a private school when I was suddenly required to shift to online learning. On Outschool, I teach mostly social gaming clubs as I have found a need for learners to socialize while playing their favorite online games in a safe and supervised environment. In these classes, students build important social skills needed to have fun and stay safe in an online gaming environment. I am a strong believer that much learning happens through play! Like Maria Montessori said "play is the work of the child." These days much play happens in the virtual world, and as a lifelong gamer I choose to embrace it!
I have had a passion for teaching since I was in 3rd Grade and was selected for a program that allowed a few students to tutor 1st-grade students in reading and math. Since then, I have worked as a teacher/tutor my entire adult life. I have a Bachelor's in Liberal Studies with a concentration in music and have received training in the Kodaly Method of teaching music to young learners. My instrument of choice is my voice.
I have a gentle and playful teaching style built on mutual respect. My favorite quote is from Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, "Careful the things you say. Children will listen. Careful the things you do. Children will see and learn."
When I am not teaching, I enjoy hiking and rediscovering the wonders of nature with my son.
I am looking forward to seeing your learner in class!Reviews
