In this exciting escape room style class, learners will learn all about the ancient city of Pompeii - the history, interesting facts, famous landmarks, and of course, its untimely demise due to the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. They will work together to "escape" the city and make it to safety by answering questions correctly. Each question they answer correctly gets learners one step further out of harm's way, but watch out, because a wrong answer can send you down a dangerous path! Questions will be based on what is taught within the escape room about Pompeii, so extensive prior knowledge is not required. I will both teach students about the city/destruction, and facilitate the escape room play. Students will be able to work together to come up with an answer to each question, truly working as a team to get to safety!
Learning Goals
Students will gain knowledge about life in Pompeii and the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius that overtook the city. They will work collaboratively to answer questions to "escape" the dangerous eruption.

Hello! I am Ms. Katie. I teach classes of different interests and topics for young learners. I have a passion for this age group and love to interact with my students in fun and engaging ways!
I believe that learning should be FUN and that even our youngest learners should have the opportunity to express themselves while developing and following their own interests. I strive to make my classroom a safe, engaging space where all learners feel comfortable doing so. I also believe in tailoring learning to a student's development, interests, and abilities. I have enjoyed the freedom to provide such educational experiences to my own children whom I homeschool, and love doing the same for my learners now on Outschool!
I have taught in a variety of settings and environments for the last 13 years. I have been a teacher for over 10 years. I spent 9 years in the public education system as a classroom teacher, 3 in 3rd grade and 6 in Kindergarten. I taught the entire 2020-21 school year virtually, to 50 Kindergarten students! I have years of experience in learning support, gifted support, autism support, emotional support. I have also helped to run an outdoor, nature-centered camp for children ages 4-14. I served as an Envirothon coach for grades 3 and 4, and helped to start and run a "Storybook STEM" club for elementary aged children. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education and my Master's Degree in Education. I am also a Google Certified Educator.
On a personal note, I love being outside, hiking, reading, traveling, baking, and being a mom to my own 3 young children who also love to take classes on Outschool.Reviews
