Students will practice important problem solving skills and collaboration while working together to guess what is in the Mystery Box. We will cover what kids of questions to ask and how to narrow down the possibilities. Is it alive? Is it edible? Is it heavy? Is it red? When each mystery object has been successfully identified, we will celebrate by sharing and discussing our own traditions and Christmas favorites. This special edition of the Mystery Box is Christmas themed so think candy canes and ornaments for the tree. If you've played the Mystery Box game before, you are in for a whole new seasonal experience. If it is your first time, you will also enjoy practicing your critical thinking skills while enjoying a festive atmosphere!
Learning Goals
Students will practice their critical thinking skills in a fun and relaxing environment. We practice taking turns and working together. We also have a blast thinking "outside the box" about the items inside the box. This is a great first class to introduce your student to Outschool.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Kenyon College
I have been teaching on Outschool since 2020 and have taught over 6,000 learners.
**I received the Outschool Best in Class Award**
Check out this video where I was featured on an episode of Outschool Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsLyvK9cUX4
I have homeschooled my own children who are 9, 11, and 13 years old now since the beginning. And I planned to do that long before they were born!
Between everyone, there's Autism Spectrum, giftedness, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, PDA, etc to name a few differences that make my family twice exceptional. I have extensive experience working with different learning styles and have taught students from many different backgrounds.
I use a multi-sensory, engaging, interactive, and playful approach in my classes. I am high energy and make sure each student is met right where they are and that they feel included.
Personally, and at this point in my life, my ADHD is my superpower, but it wasn't always easy for me growing up in traditional school. Let me help you make it easy for your student and yourself!
I earned a BA from Kenyon College, and have started several small businesses, including designing and selling Aloha Feet, The Fidget for Your Feet. I have also won Jigsaw Puzzle competitions.
My most wonderful accomplishment though is hearing from my students that my classes are so much fun and hearing from their adults that their students are finally seen and thriving!
In my free time, I love creating new classes! Plus I enjoy watching Korean dramas and playing BananaGrams.
I am excited to spend time with your Outschooler!
Watch for me and my son in a recent Good Morning America episode featuring our part in an awesome autism awareness transit project!
