*** I LOVE playing Minecraft, and if you're here looking at this class, I know you do, too! Here's a promo code for $5 off this class: TUCKEILOVEMINECRAFT5 *** This is a fun, interactive club facilitated by the teacher. Every week we play Minecraft in my private Realm, and once a month we do a special activity. This course is friendly to every level of Minecrafters. Students are encouraged to bring part of their Minecraft collection or even dress up to share in class (especially those items related to the week’s topic!). This is a student directed class, so if learners mention a certain aspect of Minecraft or activity of interest, the schedule is subject to change. Please see schedule below to see which days we do our special craft or activity. All other days (that are not listed), we just chat and play. 2024: Week of May 19 Conversation and a craft: Door hanger Week of June 30 Guess Who game Week of July 21 The End: Silly Stories game Week of August 11 Would you rather...? conversational activity Week of September 15 Make a meme! activity Week of October 20 Conversation and a craft: Haunted house diorama Week of November 24 Conversation and a craft: Christmas countdown chain Week of December 1 Conversation and a craft: Christmas ornament 2025: Week of January 5 Conversation and a craft: Pop-up book Week of February 9 Conversation and valentines Week of March 9 Chat and Color Day Week of April 13 Alex's Easter Silly Stories *** More weeks to be added for 2025! 🗓️ Dates there will be NO classes scheduled. You will NOT be charged for weeks that do not have classes scheduled, so it is NOT necessary to un-enroll that weeks. In 2024, I will NOT be scheduling any classes for the following weeks: * December 22nd and 29th due to Christmas. 🎄 Classes will resume the week of January 5th. ✂️ If any extra materials or supplies are necessary for the week’s class, teacher will post the supply list in the classroom (normally a week prior to the session). Some weeks are just for chatting for social time, but other weeks we will play fun games, make a craft (depending upon whether or not current subscribers like or dislike crafting) or make up a fun story together about the game we’re discussing. In the case that supplies are needed, they will not be anything beyond traditional crafting items (think paper, glue, tape, markers, paint, etcetera) or an extra device such as a cell phone (in addition to the device used to see the classroom) for the games. 👀 SUPER IMPORTANT: In order to play Minecraft together, we will need to be friends on Minecraft. If you do not wish to share this information, learners will not be able to play together. If you have any doubts or questions, please let me know as soon as possible. The idea behind this class is to provide a safe space to share and play together (at least once a month). ✅ My no-show policy: if no learners are in the classroom after 10 minutes, the Zoom session will be ended (this is Outschool's general policy for no-shows). 🎮 Upon signing up, PLEASE keep in mind and follow Outschool's policy for gamer tags and gaming classes: * Learners or parents should message gamer tags directly through a private message * Never allow learners to share their gamer tags in the classroom page (this means teacher or parents should delete comments from learners that do). Thank you! * Per Outschool's policy, we must be on a private server at all times. * Per Outschool's policy, learners are not allowed to continue on the server without the teacher; therefore the learners must leave the server at the end of class time.

Learning Goals
Students will have a safe space to socialize and discuss their Minecraft knowledge, compete in fun games, sometimes make crafts, and overall be creative and practice social skills.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
If your learner needs assistance with scissors or glue, please note the days that we will be making crafts those days in case they need your help.

Supply List
At times we will make crafts, and I will put up the supply list in the classroom prior to class time (normally a week in advance). Please contact me ASAP if you have any doubts, or if you need to use alternative supplies. I'm more than happy to try to help you figure out what you might use in case you don't have some supplies. As much as possible, I will use basic, easily found supplies on crafting days.

Welcome, gamers! I am Gaming Teacher Laura and I offer fun gaming classes in a safe, secure environment for gaming pros and newbs alike! I enjoy geeking out over the latest Zelda merch, awesome Fortnite skins, and fun Minecraft builds.
Not sure about how to help your learner navigate a Water Temple? I gotcha! Help finding that last Lightroot? I also gotcha! Don’t know a thing about Fortnite? That’s ok: we’ve all been there and I’ll get your learner on the way to their first dub. Need a mining buddy? Say no more!
I can help your learner up their game, have a cool space to share their theories, collections, and knowledge (and we can do that in TWO languages: English or Spanish!)
❤️ My favorites ❤️
🎭 Majora’s Mask is the GOAT. 🗡️
🔫 My first Fortnite season ever: Chapter 2 Season 5 (go Baby Yoda AKA Grogu!). 🎮
⛏️ And I’m a chill survival mode Minecrafter: I love exploring new terrain (let’s find ancient city!) and building cozy houses. 🚪
I am a total geek and my hobbies/passions include what I do in classes: gaming, awesome geeky TV series, manga/anime, writing stories and making cool crafts. I’m also into anime/manga such as Kimetsu no Yaiba, Spy X Family, and Jujutsu Kaisen.
Geekiness aside, I love spending time with family. I loves animals (especially dogs!) and have three Chihuahuas: Niko, Agatha and Midna (yes, as in Twilight Princess’s Midna!). 🐾
Important policies:
🎮 For gaming classes ~ I do understand that some learners make friends in class and want to become Nintendo friends or share gamer tags for video games they can play together. Upon signing up, PLEASE keep in mind and follow Outschool's policy for gamer tags:
* Learners or parents should message gamer tags directly through a private message
* Never allow learners to share their gamer tags in the classroom page (this means teacher or parents should delete comments from learners that do). Thank you!
* Break-out rooms ~ As of 2024 I will begin to implement a breakout room so that in larger gaming classes, learners can have fewer distractions while they play. Whenever possible I will be present in both the main room as well as the breakout room, as I will have a second device so that I can hear what is going on in both and aid/moniter ALL learners.
⌚️For all classes ~ My no-show policy is that if no learners are in the classroom after 10 minutes, the Zoom session will be ended (this is Outschool's general policy for no-shows).
⏺️ Class recordings: For safety reasons, I do not automatically release all recordings after class time. Safety reasons include but are not limited to: a non-verified learner in the group (has never attended class/refused to turn on camera) or a learner disclosing personally identifying information (such as their home address, birth date, etcetera). If your learner has missed part of a class and they would like to watch the recording, please reach out to me. I release recordings to learners that have attended classes, only when they miss a class project and they want to see how to do the project. ✂️🖍️
💳 Refund policies:
* Ongoing classes: These are subscription classes! If you have enrolled in an ongoing class, this means you are essentially paying for a subscription and you are paying each week for this class. Outschool sends parents/guardians emails about their subscription class to alert them about their payments. Each enrollment takes up a space that can’t be accessed by other learners; therefore, I will NOT be refunding ongoing classes on the basis of not knowing it is a subscription class.
* 🤒✈️ Courtesy refunds: I offer ONE courtesy refund per month to my ongoing learners, because I know life happens: we all have emergencies, get sick, have a trip. For a courtesy refund you must request the refund 24 hours in advance. No exceptions. If you cannot make the class for 2+ weeks my recommendation is to unenroll until you know your learner can attend.
* Multi-day classes: I go by Outschool's limited policy. Full refund until a week in advance, or within 24 hours of purchase (until class starts).
* 👾For Gaming classes: Please remember to update your console/game (for example, Fortnite or Minecraft) prior to class time. For the first class if you are unable to play I may issue a partial refund, but following classes will not be refunded.
