Activities may include a varied assortment of word or math analogies, logic puzzles, word ladders, math problem solving tasks, lateral thinking challenges, deductive reasoning activities, and/or riddles and brain teasers.

Multiple weeks may have logic puzzles, but they will be different logic puzzles. As a result, students may attend each week, when they are available to, or just one time, but I hope they attend more than once. :)

Ms. Heather is a certified educator with 20 years teaching experience. I've taught both elementary and middle school, as well as been a gifted education teacher for half of my teaching career. Gifted education is a special passion of mine so many of my classes are tailored towards gifted and/or high-level learners, however I'm happy to work with any student who is interested in learning and growing. My ultimate goal is to create classes and activities which encourage students to step up their thinking with a little bit of challenge, all while having fun in a safe, nurturing, and caring environment.
