This is our one-time class and is a great opportunity to try out the class before subscribing to our weekly Free Eggs club. In this one time class, we play Adopt Me in a private server. We we will practice safe online play and digital citizenship skills, such as keeping personal information private, using fair trading in the game, and knowing how to report scammers. Learners will interact the entire class through voice and text chat, but the teacher may momentarily mute the class at times to make an announcement or let a student share something with the class. This is a social club, so we will be playing and talking about Adopt Me the entire time of class. We will play the game as normal, sharing tips and tricks, doing fair trades and caring for pets, as well as play mini games within Adopt Me, like “Hide and Seek” and “Fashion Show.” During our class EVERY learner will receive an egg or box of their choice to keep and hatch in class!
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to play Adopt Me and socialize with peers while practicing digital citizenship and communication skills.

Parental Guidance
This class does require the learner to have a free Roblox account to access our Adopt Me game. Roblox is an Outschool approved third party tool and student account can be created by visiting www.Roblox.com. The teacher’s screen showing the Adopt Me game will be shared throughout the class.
Supply List
It’s recommended that students use two devices: one for the zoom meet and one to play Adopt Me. This isn’t required but a suggestion to help reduce lag time.

Hi Students and Families!
My name is Meaghen Owen and I offer Roblox: Adopt Me classes on a private server. Every student receives an out of game egg to raise during the class. We also have fun playing hide and seek, dressing up our pets, decorating our houses, and having races! I hope to see you in our ongoing Adopt Me classes!
Why did I start these Adopt Me Classes?
I was inspired to start these classes when my own daughters (ages 8 and 10) became interested in playing Adopt Me. I created a profile to monitor their play and, although they weren't allowed to talk to anyone outside our family, I was concerned by the conversations taking place that they could still read and the risk of scamming. I discovered how important it was for kids to have a place to play the game they love in a safe and kid friendly environment.
What is my professional background?
I received a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Mississippi in 2012. During my eight years of teaching PreK, 2nd, and 4th grade in a public school setting, I’ve gain endorsements in both Early Childhood Education (Pre-K) and as a Library Media Specialist. I’ve also received my National Board Certification in Early to Middle Childhood Literacy.
What do I do other than Outschool?
I am a full time librarian at the same public school I was a student in. I love spending time with my husband, Kevin, and two daughters, Maggie and Lauraen. I love gardening, reading, and dream of having my own farm/homestead one day. I live in a fairly rural area neighboring the county that Elvis Presley was born and raised! Our grandparents even attended the same elementary school! I also live less than one mile from the largest Amish community in the Deep South Region of the United States.
