Students will work as a team in order to solve clues based on vocabulary words that are specific to upper elementary-aged children. You and your teammates are stuck behind four locked doors! Each door is unlocked with a unique code that can only be discovered by solving the given clues that will test your acquisition of vocabulary words. You must use all of your language knowledge to escape. Will you make it? **Specific skills targeted are: vocabulary associated with grade-appropriate words, and unique activities that review logical relationships between words. For example, students will use grade-appropriate general academic specific words and phrases, including those that signal contrast, in addition to, and relationships using the words however, although, nevertheless, similarly, and moreover. This is a fun and engaging group activity designed to either acquire, or review, age appropriate language skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Iowa Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello, my name is Kathleen Bernath Jenkins and I am a recently retired elementary public school teacher in Missouri. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in differentiated instructional methods. Most recently, I have taught fourth-grade students the core academic skills: reading, grammar, writing, math, science, and social studies.
I have a passion for teaching children the skills needed for them to be successful citizens. I believe all children can achieve success at school by differentiating instructional methods, which allows for individual growth and expression. My approach to teaching is to focus on best practices, those proven to be successful across all educational settings: teacher modeling and interaction with students, setting clear objectives at the start of each lesson, encouraging group participation, and debriefing together at the close of a lesson.
Besides my love of teaching, I also have a greenhouse and enjoy growing and propagating plants, especially tropical and rare varieties!
