Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
This is an ongoing course that meets once a week. Students may join us at any time! Every week we will discuss two epic mythical creatures. 

How strong is a dragons bite? What would happen if a Kraken really existed in the ocean? Would a Basilisk or a Bigfoot win in a battle? We will answer these questions along with many others. 

We will discuss the creatures legend of origin, the culture that first believed they existed, their habitats, behaviors, and diets. This class will begin with an interactive presentation on each of the creatures discussed. Students will brainstorm all of the things they already know about these creatures and all of the things they hope to learn in our class. Next, students will learn the strengths and weaknesses for both of the mythical beings and the deep history of their species. Finally, the students will decide who they think would win in a battle between the two creatures. Together we will imagine what that battle may look like! Students will then decide where our creature goes on our tournament bracket for the ultimate mythical creature. 

I believe students learn best when having fun in a supportive environment that encourages them to express their thoughts and opinions. My classes are student centered and are adaptive to the group of students present in class.  

Students are welcome to bring their favorite stuffed animals, books, or animal toys to share with the class. Snacks are welcome too. 


Kraken VS. Cetus
Basilisk VS. Bigfoot
Tengu VS. Centaur
Akugyo VS. Nessie
Sphinx VS. Typhon


This class will continue past the dates listed. Students will have input on which creatures are discussed as class goes on.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I'm Chris Hatch. I am a credentialed K-8 teacher with a bachelors in elementary education and a masters degree in curriculum and instruction. 

I believe that every child has the potential to reach their academic and social emotional goals. It is my mission to assist every student in meeting those goals. My classes are inclusive, engaging, and fun! One of my greatest joys in teaching is to make the time I have with students exciting and purposeful. 

I have been an educator for over 5 years. I have taught language arts, math, science, social studies, and social skills. I have also been an outdoor naturalist and STEM teacher. Nature, animals, plants and insects are on of my greatest passions. 

In my free time, I enjoy scuba diving, hiking, drawing, writing and spending time with my wife, baby. and golden retriever.
