Calling all Mathematicians! We need your help!!! The STAR Students of Galaxy Elementary School are faced with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR mysteries!!!! Through this flex math series, students will have the opportunity to learn about, review, and practice essential math skills. Multiplication, division, time, and fractions will be covered. This will all be accomplished in a fun and interactive way! The class will start with a recorded reading about the mystery at hand and learners will get to know the STAR Students of Galaxy Elementary School. The main lesson will be taught and students will then work to complete a fun math themed mystery on their own. After the lesson, students will work through a series of math puzzles in order to find clues. These classes are designed as escape room/breakout room classes. If students get the puzzles correct, they are able to move on to the next puzzle. If they are incorrect, they have the chance to try again. At the end of each lesson, students will complete a Google Form with information about the mystery. In addition, they will have the opportunity to participate in an ongoing discussion with their classmates on the Outschool discussion platform. In addition to covering math topics, learners will have the opportunity to put their reading and critical thinking skills to practice as well! Skills needed: Reading: Approximately third grade level Some background knowledge and experience of multiplication, division, time, and fractions will be helpful. The classes will follow the same structure but each week, the mystery, theme and topic of the class will be different.

Welcome! My name is Mrs. G and I am SO excited for the opportunity to work with children around the world through Outschool. I have a strong passion for giving children the best education possible and to make learning FUN! Ever since I began teaching, I feel incredibly fulfilled and I wake up excited every morning to go to school, NOT work. Teaching has never felt like a job to me, but a lifestyle; something that is just a part of who I am.
Through the platform of Outschool, I look forward to putting my own creativity to use and design fun, educational experiences. As of now, I am going to be teaching through the creative avenue of "escape rooms". Students will enter the fictional world of the STAR Students (Sophie, Trey, Anthony, and Rosa) of Galaxy Elementary School. These four students need the help of Outschool students to solve various mysteries that will be uncovered through clues. The only way to receive clues is by solving math problems and/or answering ELA questions. Outschool students will join the STAR students on an educational adventure during each one of my classes!!
I also have a strong passion for writing and specifically, supporting students by teaching strategies to help improve their writing. I love helping developing authors find their voice, creativity, and passion for writing!
A little bit about my professional background: I have experience as a third grade teacher of students with an IEP, Gifted and Talented students, and everyone in between. That being said, I am comfortable teaching a wide variety of grades and ages. While teaching, I served as my school's literacy and technology coach. This means I supported my colleagues as an instructional coach by providing professional development, coming into their classrooms to help their instruction, and opening my classroom doors for observation.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Psychology, a minor in Early Childhood Education and a certificate in Leadership. In 2020, I also obtained a Master's degree in Educational Leadership with a supervisor and principal certificate.
In September, I gave birth to a baby girl! I am currently on maternity leave but I miss teaching so much that I am excited to have the opportunity to teach online! Reviews
