Experiencia de clase

Nivel de inglés: desconocido

Grado de EE. UU. 4 - 7

In this class, students will learn about the scientific method, conducting experiments, chemistry, engineering, and biology using Peeps candy and/or marshmallows. Any type of marshmallows will work for this class! 

Each week, we will have a guiding question. We will then use that question to design an experiment. Afterwards, we will use the data we collected to analyze our results.  

Learners will be STUCK to their seats with this SWEET class! No GOOEY minds allowed, as we will be SQUISHING a ton of information into our brains! Please join me on this sweet adventure!

Assessments and grades can be provided upon request. Please reach out at least one week prior to class starting to arrange.

Metas de aprendizaje

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente

Hello! My name is Whitney and I am so excited to have the opportunity to share my expertise with you! I have a Bachelors degree from Florida State University, and I have over 10 years of teaching experience. I have taught formally in a preschool classroom, and I currently teach ESL online. I have also taught horseback riding, rowing, canning, Sunday school, and I look forward to sharing my classroom with you! 

I believe that learning should be FUN! Some times a bit messy, maybe a bit silly, but always full of smiles and laughter. I believe that we remember what we learn best when we remember the experience as a positive one. I also believe that life can be one of the greatest educators. I love to bring real life examples into my classes. 

When I am not spending with my family and dogs, I enjoy teaching sewing classes, budgeting classes, science, English, art, and having a fun and educational story time for young learners. Often times, I will bring my dogs to class as teaching tools! 

Thank you for viewing my profile, and I hope to see you in class soon!
