Parental Guidance
The book contains some fantasy violence, much like the other 2 books. There is also a play on the word dam (when the students visit a dam), like it were a curse word.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have 10 years teaching experience. I taught for 4 years in Texas for a traditional "brick and mortar" and have taught the past 6 years in a virtual environment in Tennessee. I have been certified to teach Middle School in both Texas and Tennessee.
When I became a teacher, I made the commitment to be the teacher I always wanted; an engaging teacher that connected with students and had fun while doing it. I love using humor and music in my class, and really enjoy helping students learn to love to learn.
I have 10 plus years of video-making experience and have made several parodies for the schools I have worked for to help engage students to content or just for fun.Reviews
