Whodunnit? The Mystery of the Sabotaged Swimming Pool! (An Elapsed Time Camp)
What's included
4 live meetings
2 in-class hoursClass Experience
In this class, students will learn to use number lines to calculate elapsed time. They will receive both guided instruction and opportunities to work independently. Along the way, they will be using the clues they collect to solve "The Mystery of the Sabotaged Swimming Pool." As your young detective solves a series of time related puzzles, he or she will collect clues that can be used to eliminate suspects, narrow down the list of potential crime scenes, solve the mystery and save the day! Each "detective" will receive a list of potential suspects, crime scenes, and methods, and each new problem will bring them one step closer to discovering "Whodunnit!" But beware! One wrong answer could lead the detective down a rabbit trail and away from the truth!

Teacher expertise and credentials
As a recently retired Math/Science teacher I have spent countless hours helping elementary school aged children discover the wonder of learning. I was privileged to begin my career in the world of Special Education, taught many years in the general education setting, and ended my career in Gifted Education. Helping students discover their talents, passions, and strengths is one of the things that brings me the greatest fulfillment in life. Encouraging each child to find a way to plug those talents into his or her learning is a vital part of who I am. My work as a Gifted and Talented Specialist taught me the importance of inspiring children to look beyond the obvious to the abstract and helped me to see the joy that comes from viewing every child through the lens of his or her strengths. My hope is that, through my teaching, I can help each child to see himself, or herself, through that lens as well.
