Calling all architects! In this class, students will develop perseverance and problem solving skills by designing and building structures with candy hearts and craft sticks. Specific tasks will be given to learners, and they will use estimation, measurement, and engineering as they work to build each structure. I will guide students through a discussion about the engineering math behind each task, as well as ways we can make adjustments to improve the strength of their structures. Task 1: Candy Heart Tower Task 2: Rainbow Wall Task 3: Candy Heart Bridge

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Master's Degree in Education from University of Tennessee
Welcome! I'm delighted to introduce myself as Ms. Carolyn, a highly qualified professional elementary and ESL educator, as well as an experienced instructional coach. With a Bachelor's degree in Child and Family Studies and a Master's degree in Education, I possess the expertise and passion to make a lasting impact on your child's educational journey.
Having spent four rewarding years in the classroom, I discovered my true calling in nurturing young minds. My dedication and commitment led to a promotion as an instructional coach for my district, where I continued to inspire fellow educators and enhance teaching methodologies.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I have had the privilege of homeschooling my own children, allowing me to empathize with the unique needs of both students and parents. As an avid reader, artist, and published author, I instill in my students a deep appreciation for creativity and the power of imagination. My ultimate goal is to equip every student with a strong understanding of the subject matter while bolstering their self-confidence and unleashing their limitless potential.
In my classes, I strive to create an atmosphere that is not only educational but also enjoyable and engaging. I believe that learning should be a thrilling adventure rather than a chore. Students are actively encouraged to express their thoughts, ask questions, and actively participate in discussions. By incorporating their personal interests and preferences into the coursework, I foster a deeper connection between the material and their everyday lives.
When I'm not immersed in teaching, you can find me wearing inside-out socks, playfully chasing after my energetic twin boys. This constant joy and zest for life spills over into my teaching, as I bring enthusiasm and a genuine love for helping students discover and nurture their unique talents.
I look forward to the opportunity to embark on this educational journey with your child, supporting their growth, fostering their curiosity, and ensuring a fun and meaningful learning experience. Let's unlock their full potential together!
