If you love fantasy, adventure, and history, then come and join us each week as we discuss our favorite Magic Treehouse books! This is a discussion based class (in English). Each week, will discuss the plots, setting, and character development of each books. Learners are asked to read the stories BEFORE each class. We will discuss historical facts and how the story might be different if it included different historical moments, characters, or events. Each class will include some Youtube videos so that we can get a visual of the setting of the story. Each learner is asked several discussion questions about the story, and we all share our favorite moments and characters. Class size is kept small to ensure each learner has an opportunity to share in discussions. 2025 Dates Week of: January 6 Merlin Missions 14 A Good Night for Ghosts January 13 Merlin Missions 15 Leprechaun in Late Winter January 20 Merlin Missions 16 A Ghost Tale for Christmas Time January 27 NO CLASS February 3 Merlin Missions 17 A Crazy Day with Cobras February 10 Merlin Missions 18 Dogs in the Dead of Night February 17 Merlin Missions 29 Abe Lincoln at Last!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Louisiana State University
I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions. I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.
I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism.
