Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom Crew: Fun Adventures, Fantastic Friendships! 🍄🌟
This virtual social club is designed for kids in 2nd to 5th grade who are ready to embark on exciting adventures, make new friends, and have a semester full of fun! (This club is year-round, join anytime!)

Jump down the warp pipe with Ms. Shannon for an exciting time filled with interactive activities, engaging discussions, and endless opportunities to connect with fellow Mario fans! Each week, we’ll hang out, build friendships, share about the latest Mario games, play our own fun games, and have plenty of group chats! Expect activities that foster kindness, cooperation, and friendship. Build lasting relationships and learn what it means to be a supportive friend.

Every voice in the Mushroom Kingdom Crew is important. It is the honor and responsibility of an educator to encourage the quiet voices, amplify the unheard ones, and moderate the consistent sharers. The most dynamic classroom conversations happen when everyone participates. There is a beautiful space that is created when individual voices come together, teaching and learning from one another in a safe and warm environment. I encourage the more reserved as well as the outgoing to join this social club, where there is friendship and a place for everyone!

I am honored to provide a safe space where each child can feel comfortable, try something new, and always be encouraged. I want each kid to feel empowered, strong, and valued and most importantly to know that they are loved just for who they are!

Beyond Hanging Out!

Interactive Games: Enjoy a mix of virtual games that encourage teamwork, problem-solving, and lots of laughter. Get ready for scavenger hunts, trivia challenges, and more!

Story Sharing and Break Out Rooms: Share your favorite Mario characters and stories, books, music, movies/shows, and experiences with the group. Let's build connections through our shared Mario interest as well as leaning into new things!

Theme Days: Totally chosen by the crew! Should we have a Mario pajama party? Green Luigi/Yoshi day? Power-Up Dress up day? Wario and Waluigi's Mischief Day where we play all silly games and tell funny jokes?! Donkey Kong Animal Day where we can bring a pet or favorite stuffy?!

Mushroom Kingdom Talent Shows: Showcase your unique talents in our virtual talent show. Whether it’s singing, dancing, magic tricks, art, or a special skill, every talent is celebrated in the Mushroom Kingdom Crew! Ms. Shannon has a special talent for helping kids find what they're good at and encouraging them to believe in their unique and special gifts. The world needs exactly who you were created to be!

A list of simple materials will be provided in advance for each session if we have something special happening—but most days, just bring yourself and your Mario mustache (okay mustache not required)!

Join the Mushroom Kingdom Crew and let your inner light shine while growing friendships that could last a lifetime. Together, we’ll make this year the brightest one yet! Get ready to jump down the warp pipe and shine! 🍄🌟🎉
