Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
In this ongoing class, we will explore the 50 states and some territories of the USA each week. We will learn about the state's history, geographical features, capital, industry, and the animals that live there. I always welcome sharing of any fun facts students may know about the state. This is an ongoing class and students may join or take a break at any time.

Lessons will involve a slideshow presentation with opportunities for students to express their opinions. My teaching style is engaging and interactive. I often utilize websites like Google maps to give students an immersive virtual learning experience. Together, students will explore various maps and share their observations with the class. After each lesson, there will be a review game depending on the time.

Parental Guidance
This class uses blooket or Gimkit for reviewing the lesson. These are fun, gamified learning platforms that enables students to review class material by answering questions in a quiz-style format. Students do not need an account or additional device to play the game. I will send a direct link to the game where the student clicks and joins the game directly. Also, students may use Google Earth and Google Maps to explore different places around the state. Please note that some video content is from Youtube (learners will watch no more than 3 minutes). Content is age-appropriate and will be screen-shared. Learners will not go onto any external websites.
