I was a teacher for 20 years.  I have a degree in Elementary Education and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction.  I taught elementary school but spent most of my time as a middle school teacher.  I am also the Educational Manager at a local history museum in my community.  I have many passions, one of the biggest is teaching fun and interesting classes for students.  Outschool is a great platform for this and a great source of joy in my life.  I love meeting kids all over the world.

Watch your terrarium grow

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

There are multiple supplies that need to be gathered for this class.  There will also be some handouts the kids will need to print out.
