Who is the most famous detective? How do detectives solve a case? How can you help solve cases? All these questions will be answered in this 4 week flexible schedule class. Come and join us for some fun as we explore fictional and real life detectives. The students will learn through videos, stories and articles. The videos will be used to practice listening comprehension skills by solving mysteries that I will read to the students in the videos. We will discuss what happened and the clues that lead to solving the mystery. The class will also discuss some real life detectives along with fictional detectives. Examples include: Encyclopedia Brown and Sherlock Holmes. We will also watch episodes of Scooby Doo and Ghostwriter.

All materials will be located in the Outschool classroom. The videos and tv episodes will be on YouTube and I will put the link in a post in the classroom. The students may use the record a video function in the classroom to "talk" to each other and provide their answer to the mysteries. They can also type out their answer and post it under my post in the classroom. Students can also write out their answer if they don't know how to type. This is a flexible schedule class with NO live classes. The class is 4 weeks long with posts Monday through Friday. Mondays the students will get an assignment and have until Friday to complete it. I will also post on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays additional information about the topic of the week.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Kansas Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Northwest Missouri State University
Hello! My name is Kellie. I have over 15 years of experience teaching students in a variety of settings.
I have continued to expand my teaching experience and explore new areas of interest. I have taught students of various ages and backgrounds, both in traditional classroom settings and online platforms.
I strive to create engaging and interactive lessons that cater to each student's unique learning style, fostering their confidence and love for learning.
In terms of my qualifications, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood and a Reading Endorsement. My passion lies in teaching foundational skills, particularly in reading. I firmly believe that every student has the potential to learn, but it's important to recognize and accommodate their individual learning needs and pace. In my classes, I provide multiple approaches to learning a concept, ensuring that each student has the opportunity to grasp it in a way that resonates with them.
Beyond my teaching experience, I have a diverse background in agriculture and farming. My husband and I are actively involved in raising quarter horses for working cow horse competitions. I find joy in merging my love for agriculture with my teaching endeavors, incorporating elements of farm life and nature into my lessons. It's a unique way to engage students and broaden their understanding of the world around them.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I'm excited to connect with more learners and families, and I look forward to the opportunity to inspire a love for learning in your child.Reviews
