There's nothing like fun mysteries to generate authentic inference and conversation! **Please check the schedule below to see what "Cases" we will be doing each week. :)** In this ongoing class, students will explore a new mystery story each week. After reading, discussing, and exploring the mystery students will have a chance to discuss their theories with each other and guess the culprit through a guided conversation. Finally, the resolution to the case is revealed at the end of class. Students will be actively practicing making inferences, speaking and listening skills, observing text clues, using background knowledge and critical thinking throughout the story and discussion each week. ** PLEASE NOTE: This class is a rotation of the current mystery classes that I teach, you can find the weekly mystery schedule below!** April 4th- The Case of the Masquerade Menace April 11th- The Case of the Grumpy Ghost April 18th - The Case of the Ruined Research April 25th- The Case of the Wicked Witch May 2nd - The Case of the Fair Fiasco May 9th - The Case of the Mysterious Movie Star May 8th - The Case of the Devious Duo Week of May 15th - The Case of the Crazy Critters Week of May 22nd - The Case of the Turkey Tournament Week of May 29th - The Case of the Nutty New Year Week of June 5th- The Case of the Wonky Wand

Teacher expertise and credentials
𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘!
I’m Elizabeth, owner and online teacher at Sparkology. I’m also a mom, and I get it - we have to be masters at juggling roles in today’s world. Every day we are parents, tutors, teachers, principals and curriculum designers! Playing every part in your child’s parenting and education is exhausting.
So when it comes to helping your kids understand and enjoy subjects you’re not an expert in, it’s the cherry on top of your stress. That’s why we offer unforgettable classes for 3rd through 8th grade that are sure to keep your kid learning - and having tons of fun along the way.
Our classes do so much more than give you a much-needed break. Your kid will be excited to join class each week. Each class and assignment is designed to spark curiosity and make learning fun.

That way, you can focus less of your energy on playing the role of “Educational-Everything” and instead, focus on what means the most.
