Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Intermediate - Advanced Level
Does your learner love science and is looking for a fun, engaging class that teaches science concepts outside of their typical grade level science standards? This class is for them! 

Once a week we will be engaged on hands-on activities to explore concepts that your child is interested in. I am open to asking learners what they would like me to research and prepare for them. The best way to have them engaged is learning about topics THEY want to learn! I will plan lessons as well as take requests.

Your learner will need to be fairly independent for this class, however I welcome adult help as long as it’s off screen. Please count on purchasing items for these hands-on activities. We will be drawing, building, exploring and so much more! 

This class will begin in September for the 2023-2024 school year. I will be working on the schedule of topics between now and the summer. **For learners that are signed up, feel free to have them post suggestions for lesson to the classroom.

M background is as an art therapist and special education teacher. Both of these careers required the use of creative, hands-on activities. I have also taught science to elementary students for over 11 years. I am always excited to join my love of science with belief in hands-on activities to support student engagement and retention.
