What's included

30 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
US Grade 3 - 6
In this ongoing class, learners will learn about a new country each week. I have personally traveled the world, so I will be teaching some of the countries that I have visited and share what I have learned during my travels. I am so excited to share my globe trotting experience with your young budding traveler. This is a great way to learn geography, culture, and gain an understanding of different people around the world. Before each lesson, I will share the flag that can be colored while following along with the lesson. It’s optional. The lesson will include locating and discussing observations of the map, identifying important geographical landmarks, discussing the climate, discussing the meaning of the flag, learn about the local food, go over fun and interesting facts about the country, identify important historical sites and any important events in history, any important art or sports, and delve into the country's culture (including possibly discussing in a factual but brief way the country's religion and common customs). At the end of the presentation, students will be encouraged to think about which sites they would like to visit the most from the country we learned about.

Master's Degree in Education from SUNY Buffalo State
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of Idaho
I’m a certified teacher in Elementary Education with my Master’s in Education Leadership, with experience in both in the US and internationally. My family and I had the privilege of living overseas for 15 years, teaching in international schools around the globe. I've lived in New Zealand, Kazakhstan, Thailand, and Bosnia and Herzegovina! I value teaching small groups, students from diverse backgrounds, instilling curiosity in my students, and encouraging students to take ownership of their learning. Over the course of my 18 years in the classroom, I have gained valuable insight into best practices and ways to connect with learners. I strive for each of my learners to know that I care deeply about them and their education. Connection is the base for all authentic learning.
On Outschool, I am teaching an array of different classes: math camps, problem solving, traveling, book clubs, nature journaling, tutoring, choose-your-own-adventure, reading comprehension courses, and novel studies to list a few. I believe in smaller class sizes to ensure quality of education and engagement.
Outside of teaching, I am an avid long-distance trail runner, reader, and traveler! I'm equally passionate about all three. I love anything outdoors. Travel has taught me valuable life-long lessons that I love sharing with others. I have a teacher husband (also on Outschool!), and two young children that I adore.
