In the engaging and interactive games "Lost Kittens", players are tasked with assisting a group of kittens who have become separated from their mother. Throughout the game, players must help the kittens navigate various challenges such as finding food, seeking shelter, escaping predators, and ultimately reuniting with their mama. There are 5 games total. The games incorporates educational elements by including over 20 math questions in each level. Players must answer these questions correctly to progress to the next stage of the game. In addition to math, the game also includes various activities such as telling time, memory games, patterns, polygons, and place value exercises. Rather than traditional teaching methods, the game is delivered through Google Slides documents that players can set to "slideshow mode" to access the interactive games. To advance to the final bonus level, players are required to share weekly screenshots of their completed games. Each level of the game also features an online reading comprehension quiz related to the weekly story, as well as a kitten-themed word search to further engage and challenge the players. By participating and completing activities alongside classmates, players can earn a spot on the leaderboard and enjoy a sense of friendly competition. As players progress through the games, they will encounter exciting challenges such as fishing for food while avoiding alligators, seeking shelter in a cave with its own predator, and orchestrating a daring rescue mission after eagles snatch away some of the kittens. The ultimate goal is to successfully guide the kittens through various obstacles until they are reunited with their beloved mama in the final bonus level. In conclusion, "Lost Kittens" offers a fun and educational gaming experience for young learners, blending math exercises with engaging storytelling and interactive challenges to keep players entertained and learning throughout the game.

Hello parents and students,
I encourage learning through enthusiastic engagement. I believe children learn best through curiosity or play. Teaching online has been my passion since 2015. I was an online English teacher with VIPKID for over three years and an Outschool teacher for ever since. VIPKID taught me how to engage with students in a virtual setting. They taught me how to use props, singing and demonstrations to increase learning. I encourage student output and participation during class.
I have a bachelors degree in marketing and science. I am an entrepreneur and business owner. I have also been in the beauty industry for over 15 years. I am a homeschooling mother to my twin sons and my two daughters. I am constantly seeking creative ways for my children and students to learn new things.
