Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
In this course, Students will make their own cloud in a jar while they learn about how clouds are formed and how to determine the various cloud types. Students will come to understand the difference between cumulus, stratus, and cirrus clouds.  Students will further investigate the role of altitude on clouds to understand the variations of clouds that include altostratus, altocumulus , cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus, clouds. Finally, the role of rain and moisture will be discussed in relation to cloud formation so students will understand the difference between nimbostratus, cumulonimbus, stratocumulus clouds.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their understanding of clouds and cloud formations and have fun making their own cloud.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I love to help students learn new skills and explore topics of interest! I have been teaching for over 24 years and can’t wait to share my love of learning with you and your family. I am a Nationally Board-Certified Teacher and have my Ph.D. in Education. 

I offer a wide variety of classes to meet a wide range of students' interests, needs, and ages. Check out my course options and choose one today. I promise you will have fun learning!

My teaching philosophy is to do whatever it takes to help your child learn. I like to build on your child’s background knowledge and interests to get them excited about topics. When children are excited about a topic, they learn without even realizing it!  Engaging learners make the process fun and exciting and create a foundation for a love of learning. 

I look forward to meeting you in one of my courses. See you soon!

Happy Learning, 
Dr. Amy R.
