Welcome to Geology 102: Introduction to Gemstones and Crystals. If your learner loves gemstones and crystals and is building a collection this class is for you! How can we collect rocks? Where do we find them? What is a crystal? What makes a gemstone so special? Each week we will learn about a new crystal or gemstone We will learn its identification, physical characteristics, where we can find it, uses, how it's made, and more! We will begin class with show and tell. Every learner is allowed to share one rock, gemstone, crystal (or item of their choice) with the class. This is an interactive class that allows learner participation and interaction between each learner. Please be familiar with how to unmute if needed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome to my classroom! My name is Jessica, my students call me, Ms. Jessica. I have been an online educator for over three years. I received my B.S in Management and Leadership in 2016 and then moved onto my master's program to receive my Masters of Arts in Teaching for Special Education. In 2020 with a semester and left and my student teaching I decided to stay home and homeschool my own kiddos! I have a boy with Down syndrome and another little boy. My special education background allows me to customize my classes and adapt to any learner. When I am not teaching I enjoy taking our family dog on walks, spending time in nature, reading books of all kind, watching history documentaries, cooking, and spending time with my family.
