Welcome to Phoenix Manor Magical Summer Camp, exclusively for extraordinary students! Each day holds its own enchanting theme and spirited dress-up challenge for Dorm Points. Post-camp activities also offer Dorm Points, leading to the crowning of one dorm with the illustrious Summer Golden Phoenix. Don't fret if you've attended before; everything's new! Day 1 - Welcome To The Manor Day - Polynesian/Hawaiian Luau Day: Step forth adorned for our festive Luau! You'll be sorted into one of three Dorms: Aptium, Fortorum, and Nobilis (if you've been sorted before you stay in that dorm). Each dorm boasts its crest and colors. Engage in "Tiki Tell" to forge bonds and then tackle Phoenix 5: Luau Edition, a Manor favorite! This game demands swiftness and exceptional knowledge. Earn Dorm Points for attire and questions answered correctly. A final fun "after camp" activity will be given for Day 2! Day 2 - Metamation Day - Book Day: Embark on Metamation Day, where you'll metamorphose your Dorm Uniforms into your favorite Book Character. Those who complete their Metamation after-camp work earn points for their dorm. Showcase your creations and attire before venturing into the ESCAPE ROOM, where you'll participating in the Goblin Bank Breakout. Craft Crystal Umbrastones to conclude the day. A final "after camp" activity will be give for Day 3. Day 3 - Battlecraft Day - Fantastic Beasts Day: Prepare for Battlecraft Day! Completing your take-home work earns dorm points. Present as a Fantastic Beast and share your after-camp endeavors. Delve into Battlecraft tactics and discover your Battlecraft Animals. Unleash your artistic skills by learning to draw the New Goblin Guard at Gringotts. Day 4 - Potions - Spirit Day: Don your Dorm Colors proudly for Spirit Day! Share your potion creations and their uses. Showcase your spirit wear for Dorm Points. Craft the refreshing Summer Berry Blast, the Phoenix Master's special recipe. The grand finale awaits with the awarding of the Golden Phoenix. Points are tallied, and only one dorm shall claim victory! Worry not about supply lists or dress-up concerns; alternatives abound, and I stand ready with a plethora of ideas to ease your mind. Embrace the magic that awaits!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Social Studies/History
I have always been very curious and creative and I love to inspire it in kids (both my own and others) as well. I like to teach through projects, which give students a choice on the way they learn and show their understanding. I also love to teach through games and like to combine game elements in my classes.
I believe history, studied in context, to be extremely important. In fact, it's one of our best teachers. The other "subject" I believe to be of high importance is Logic. Unfortunately, logic has long been left off most curriculums. Knowing how to examine events and history through logical thinking and analysis gives us a deep, true understanding of our world.
I'm a big believer in every parent having all the need to school their children all the way through high school. So, if you are ever in doubt, let me encourage you.
My educational consulting company, It's A Potsick Education, exists to build up curious, creative learners. I do custom content/lesson design, private, online events, consulting, and more. Message me for anything you need.
I was a classroom teacher in the public schools for over 15 years and, for the past 14 years, have been helping my wife homeschool as well. I currently hold state certifications in Florida (certificate # 960883) in the areas of Middle Grades Social Science and Language Arts and Elementary Education. I have extensive classroom experience with all Elementary and Middle Grades subject content and have done private tutoring for many years in Math, Civics, Science, and Language Arts.
