Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 3

This Halloween themed course contains 5 video lessons including an engaging Minecraft Halloween book read aloud for early readers, an early grades book review project, personally created high-interest Minecraft video tutorials and build challenges including a Redstone jump scare project, and Minecraft themed Haunted House maze activity pages. 

Learners are invited to respond to my experience, build challenges and discussion questions as they wish, posting images, screen recordings, questions, and idea descriptions.

My responsive, positive, and inclusive educator support is available asynchronously throughout this course. I am happy to offer this interaction for an additional 30 days beyond the official window. Access to this course content is accessible for a one year.
