Hey kids, if you like to travel and learn about really cool places, come on an adventure with me! I am a full-time RVer of 5-years who has traveled to multiple countries exploring landmarks and some of the most beautiful cultures and places! I never knew some of these places existed when I was a kid, and I just can't have that happen to you, too! The same topic will be taught every week starting each Monday-Sunday, so if you can't make the morning, don't worry, the evening will have the same topic and throughout the week! This is an Ongoing Class...so don't miss any of the places we explore! If it's America, we will be drawing the state, its name, the city, learn facts about the landmark, and draw it! (Mexico-Counties, Canada/other countries-Provinces) I will be teaching in person with google slides, working through my provided worksheet, showing pictures, discussing facts, providing videos with additional facts, and finishing with a FUN game! Subjects covered: Geography (America, other countries, landmarks, locations, borders, bordering states) Writing Drawing/Coloring Discussions History of Landmark Critical Thinking So, please bring along your "virtual hiking boots" as we travel together and learn about some of the COOLEST PLACES EVER!!
Learning Goals
We will be practicing drawing of states, abbreviations of states, the whereabouts of the 'location' of the weekly destination, facts of the state (State, City, Name of Landmark). Learning the history and writing facts of the topic discussed, drawing our own version of the landmark, Q & A with critical thinking, and socializing with other classmates throughout the class and at Game Time!

I began teaching on Outschool back in 2020. My background consists of traveling the world, which is my favorite! I have been trained and guided by top professionals in various industries. I have two years into completing my degree in Social Science. Being that I have traveled so much, I respect each of the cultures and am not biased. I just love all history and want to share it! I have a background of teaching dance, fitness, tutoring, and homeschool classes combined for over 20-years, but my love is in teaching children! Yes, I am a professional dancer consisting of working for Carnival Cruise Lines, dancing with singers like Toby Keith, LoCash Cowboys, and Cake. As you can see I love the arts and music, and add that with my travels, which makes me a World Traveling Fanatic!Reviews
