As a health teacher of many years, I have experience teaching nutrition topics to kids in this age range. In fact, before teaching health, I taught both middle school and 5th grade. I enjoy the upper elementary / middle school age range very much and consider it my age range of expertise.

I use the third-party application Pear Deck frequently in my lessons. Pear Deck is a program that allows learners to interact with the teacher's slides by drawing on them, dragging icons, answering questions, and more. Pear Deck is easy to use and easy to access. During our Zoom meeting, I will put a link to the slides in the Zoom chat. Students will click on it and instantly have access. Students may need an email address to access the Pear Deck slides, but it will not be visible to other learners. We will also occasionally use Gimkit, a game-style quiz for newly acquired knowledge.
