In Mission: Save E.B!, students will use logic, critical thinking skills, and teamwork to find clues and solve their way out of a digital escape room. Along the way, students will learn interesting facts about Easter and have some fun. The scenario is this... The Easter Bunny (E.B.) has been caught by Mr. McGregor and is accused of eating vegetables from his garden. E.B. says he was hiding magic Easter eggs in the local park at the time Mr. McGregor's lettuces were nibbled. You need to find the eggs to prove E.B.'s innocence so he can be released in time to deliver his Easter goodies! Students will need to find clues in a Google Slides presentation (so they need to be logged into Google Chrome on a NON-TABLET device for everything to function properly), and solve puzzles, riddles, and trivia questions to unlock the clues and find the eggs. All information needed is hidden somewhere in the escape room, and I will provide hints if needed. Once they have all the eggs, they can exchange them with Mr. McGregor for E.B.'s freedom! During class, all students will be oriented to the task, open the presentation, and then be split into teams of no more than 4 to work in breakout rooms. This will allow students to contribute more meaningfully than working individually or in a large group. I will be going from room to room to check on students' progress and answer any questions they may have. ***Note: Class is listed as 60 minutes long but depending on how long it takes teams to work through the puzzles, it could take anywhere from 45-60 minutes. ***Learners will be using a Google Slides presentation and entering answers into a Google Form. They should be familiar with how to use these as well as how to go between open tabs. Upon enrollment, you will receive a link to a quick interactive tutorial that will help your learner feel more comfortable with the technology skills required.*** SIBLING DISCOUNT: Do you have more than one child that wants to participate? Message me after you enroll and I will refund you $3 for each extra learner.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Maryland Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Eighteen years as a public school teacher in Maryland and two years as an Outschool teacher have provided me the opportunity to teach learners from diverse backgrounds with a variety of learning styles. I began my teaching career in elementary school, teaching all subjects and earning my Masters of Education with a certificate in Gifted Education from Johns Hopkins University. Later, I added both Middle School Math: 6-9 and ESOL Pre-K-12 certifications to my professional certificate. Most recently, I taught middle school math, working with both accelerated students and those with Special Education needs. Because of my varied experiences, I have many strategies to help all kinds of learners.
Math is my passion because while there may only be one correct answer, there are often many different ways to solve the same problem. Exploring those different ways and finding a method of solving with which each learner feels most confident is what I love to do. I like to incorporate hands-on strategies, games, and interactive activities into my lessons to make math less scary for reluctant mathematicians and more engaging for everyone.
When I’m not thinking about math, I enjoy baking, cake decorating, drawing, working in my vegetable garden, and sewing. In my spare time, I can be found hiking, kayaking, bird watching, doing a puzzle, or assembling furniture. I look forward to meeting your learner!Reviews
