This class will help students who love Minecraft understand all the basics of money from its history to how to earn it, save it, and spend it wisely. Each week will include two videos where I will share a lesson, a fun and engaging review game, an epic Minecraft build challenge and printable worksheets which reinforce and practice what we are learning. I also offer extra resource recommendations on the topic for further study. In the first weekly video, I will offer a unique lesson on the weekly topic using Minecraft examples, props and images. I will also introduce the build challenge for students to complete during the week. In the second weekly video, I will share my own completed Minecraft build and present an interactive game for students to review concepts taught and demonstrate their comprehension of the material. I will also share and explain how to complete some interesting worksheets related to the week's topic. I am an engaging and enthusiastic teacher who knows a lot about finances and Minecraft. I am excited to present this class for students to learn more about money. I am very active in the Outschool classroom and respond promptly to student comments and pictures/videos with personal messages and videos to encourage each student. I have experience working with students of all different abilities. Please let me know if your student needs some accommodation for this class! I can't wait to see you in my classroom soon!

Parental Guidance

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Kenyon College
I have taught over 6,000 students on Outschool and countless others outside the platform. I love using a favorite game to teach all kinds of topics from chemistry to multiplication to money matters. I think students learn best when they are engaged and having fun, and what's more fun than Minecraft? I have worked with students of many different abilities and I have created activities to help reach different types of learners. I look forward to this hands-on money matters class with your student!!
