Calling all Mathematicians! We need your help!!! The STAR Students of Galaxy Elementary School are faced with yet another mystery!! The day started just like any other. The students of Galaxy Elementary School were working on their math warm up. When they got to a question about time, they looked up at their classroom clock for help. Then, they noticed that their class clock was GONE! A missing clock? In a school? Oh no! How will they know when lunch is, recess, DISMISSAL? Use your awesome time skills to find clues and solve the mystery - The Case of the Missing Class Clock! Through this fun and interactive one time class, learn about, practice and/or review the essential math skill of telling time. We will start as a whole class to read about the mystery at hand and get to know the STAR Students of Galaxy Elementary School. Then, parts of a clock and telling time will be taught and practiced in a fun and interactive way. After that, we will work together as a team to complete a fun math themed mystery. We will work through a series of math puzzles in order to find clues. Students will be expected to be active participants and have a whiteboard and/or piece of paper on hand to answer and practice time. This class is designed as a breakout room / virtual escape room type class! Skills needed: Time: Beginner and/or some experience

Welcome! My name is Mrs. G and I am SO excited for the opportunity to work with children around the world through Outschool. I have a strong passion for giving children the best education possible and to make learning FUN! Ever since I began teaching, I feel incredibly fulfilled and I wake up excited every morning to go to school, NOT work. Teaching has never felt like a job to me, but a lifestyle; something that is just a part of who I am.
Through the platform of Outschool, I look forward to putting my own creativity to use and design fun, educational experiences. As of now, I am going to be teaching through the creative avenue of "escape rooms". Students will enter the fictional world of the STAR Students (Sophie, Trey, Anthony, and Rosa) of Galaxy Elementary School. These four students need the help of Outschool students to solve various mysteries that will be uncovered through clues. The only way to receive clues is by solving math problems and/or answering ELA questions. Outschool students will join the STAR students on an educational adventure during each one of my classes!!
I also have a strong passion for writing and specifically, supporting students by teaching strategies to help improve their writing. I love helping developing authors find their voice, creativity, and passion for writing!
A little bit about my professional background: I have experience as a third grade teacher of students with an IEP, Gifted and Talented students, and everyone in between. That being said, I am comfortable teaching a wide variety of grades and ages. While teaching, I served as my school's literacy and technology coach. This means I supported my colleagues as an instructional coach by providing professional development, coming into their classrooms to help their instruction, and opening my classroom doors for observation.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Psychology, a minor in Early Childhood Education and a certificate in Leadership. In 2020, I also obtained a Master's degree in Educational Leadership with a supervisor and principal certificate.
In September, I gave birth to a baby girl! I am currently on maternity leave but I miss teaching so much that I am excited to have the opportunity to teach online! Reviews
