Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
In this one-time class, students will learn the very basics of how airplanes fly.  We will start off by learning about forces through a fun, interactive game.  Students will watch a video clip and need to decide if a push or pull is being demonstrated.  Then we will dive into  learning about the 4 forces of flight (weight, lift, drag, and thrust).  We will do a hands on worksheet together and play another game to help students remember these 4 forces.  We will also be making a paper airplane at the end of class.  I hope to see your learner there! #academic

Supply List
A 2-page worksheet will be uploaded to the welcome post after enrollment that will need to be printed out before class starts.  Please don't print this back-to-back, as your child will be cutting and gluing from one piece of paper to the other.  Your child will also need a pair of scissors, a glue stick, and an 8.5"x11" piece of blank printer paper.  Thanks!

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Minnesota Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello everyone!  I am a former elementary teacher, teaching 5th grade for 2 years and 1st grade for five.  I enjoy teaching children about reading and math through games, hands-on learning, and engaging activities.  Airplanes, bracelet-making, and social clubs are some of the other topics I am passionate about teaching.  Through my time in the classroom, I know that in order for kids to learn, they need to be engaged and having fun!  This is why I bring games and activities to all of my classes, so that we can really enjoy our time together. 

I still currently hold a K-6 Elementary Teaching License.  I loved my time teaching in the classroom but just recently decided it was time for me to stay home with my own two children (ages 3 and 1.5).  We are excited for all the adventures we are going to have together as a family, especially going to the zoo to see my favorite animal - giraffes!
