Recruits will learn how spies, detectives, and scientists use the "Scientific Method" to solve problems and answer question.

I'm a published fiction (mystery) and nonfiction author, former homeschool mom of four, and have taught and tutored all ages for close to 20 years. For the last 7 years, I've taught Spy Kids, first as a summer camp, then as a full curriculum with a homeschool co-op. I'm excited to take this class, and others, online to reach more students with the fun and educational activities in learning to be a spy!

I love seeing students get excited about writing, even reluctant writers. Ever since I was 8 years old, I've been journaling and writing poetry to express things I couldn't speak out loud or didn't know how to. My thoughts just came out better...
