Come join us for this exciting deep dive into the Earth where students journey through the layers of the earth focusing primarily on all that can be found within the crust. Students will read the book "The Street Beneath My Feet" before class and refer back to it regularly throughout the sessions. This exciting adventure will be part science class, part history class, and a lot of fun! There will be two sessions per week and each week will focus on a different topic from the book as follows:
🌍 Week 1: An Introduction to the Earth and an investigation of it's layers; crust, magma, mantle, outer core, inner core.
🚊 Week 2: Discovering all the things that humans hide underground... wires, pipes, trains, and more!
⚔️ Week 3: Archeology and the things that are accidentally left behind by people.
💎 Week 4: Precious finds! Rocks, minerals and water.
💀 Week 5: Bones, bones, bones! Unearthing the fossils beneath us.
🦗Week 6: Living things in the crust; animals, insects, plants, and roots.

🤩Welcome to the Joy Factory! 🤩
I believe that all students learn best when they are enjoying themselves in the process, that’s why I call my “classroom” the joy factory, because I aim to create joyful learning experiences for all students.
I have found, through my 10 + years of teaching, that any of the core academic skills taught in school (reading, writing, math) can be taught with greater success (and joy) through topics of interest to the student. It can be even more joyful when the teacher is passionate about the subject. This is why I am so excited to be offering classes about aviation, science, and nature - all things that I have loved since childhood, as well as the traditional reading and writing classes but with a fun approach.
So, if your child loves any of these things too, take a peek at my classes and come join us for a joyful learning experience. I can't wait to meet you!
