Other Details
Parental Guidance
Common Sense Media rates these games as suitable for ages 13 and up, with high marks in several categories:
* 4/5 stars for positive messages.
* 4/5 stars for ease of play.
While they note minimal concerns, such as 1/5 stars for sexual content and 1/5 for references to drinking, drugs, and smoking, it's important to mention that these elements are typically avoided in the family-friendly mode we'll be using for our class. When played in this mode, these games are known for providing wholesome, clean family entertainment. Many families, including mine, enjoy these games with children as young as 7, and we've never encountered any issues. So rest assured, your child's experience will be fun and suitable for all ages.

🎬📚🎮 Movies, Books, and Games: The Ultimate Edutainment Trifecta! 🎮📚🎬
Welcome to the world of edutainment! I believe that learning should be exciting, engaging, and inclusive. By harnessing the power of movies, books, and games, I help students develop essential skills while having a blast. I focus on fostering the Three C's in my students: Communication, Connection, and Critical Thinking.
🌟 About Me 🌟
With a BS degree in Early Childhood Education and over a decade of experience, I have had the privilege of teaching students from pre-K to 12th grade. My primary areas of expertise are literature, reading, and writing. In addition to traditional classroom teaching, I've successfully homeschooled my own special needs son for more than 10 years and led classes in our local homeschool co-op.
🌍 Teaching Philosophy 🌍
I firmly believe that when students are genuinely interested in and excited about what they're learning, they become unstoppable learners. I see myself as a facilitator of learning, guiding and inspiring students to explore the world of knowledge. Learning isn't a one-size-fits-all journey, and I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each student.
🌈 Inclusive Learning 🌈
All of my classes are designed to accommodate every type of learner. I'm committed to creating a welcoming environment where everyone can thrive. If you have specific concerns or needs, please don't hesitate to reach out. I also offer a scholarship program for a limited number of students, so feel free to inquire for more details.
🤩 Let's Play and Learn Together! 🤩
I invite you to join me on an exciting educational journey where we blend the magic of entertainment with the power of knowledge. Whether you're passionate about literature, eager to enhance your writing skills, or simply looking to explore the world through a different lens, I'm here to support and guide you.
