In this interactive course, students will embark on a virtual journey to a new National Park each week. As we explore these incredible destinations, students will engage in creative writing activities inspired by each park. Weekly prompts will vary in genre, encouraging students to experiment with different writing styles and forms. This course is perfect for students who love learning about new places and are eager to grow as writers. Our focus will be on building confidence, nurturing creativity, and developing writing skills through content-driven exercises. While the main emphasis will be on content and creativity, I will also provide individual feedback on structure and mechanics to help refine students' writing. Destinations Arizona: Grand Canyon California: Sequoia California: Yosemite Colorado: Great Sand Dunes Colorado: Rocky Mountain Florida: Everglades Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming: Yellowstone Maine: Acadia New Mexico: Carlsbad Utah: Arches

Teacher expertise and credentials
Colorado Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Master's Degree in Education from University of Colorado at Denver
Hello, I’m Mrs. Smith! I come to Outschool with over 17 years of experience as a certified, licensed K-6 educator with a Masters in Linguistically Diverse Education. My love for kids started when I took my first job babysitting at the age of 12. Since then, I have nannied, taught full-time in the classroom, provided tutoring and intervention (both online and in person), taught for homeschool programs, and even coached other teachers! Currently, I am homeschooling my children while also teaching online!
Why I Love Teaching Kids:
Kids are truly amazing – they bring energy, creativity, and kindness into everything they do! In my student-centered approach, I take the time to get to know each student and develop lessons tailored to their individual needs. I believe every child learns in their own unique way, and my goal is to help them discover their strengths and build upon them. I keep lessons simple, engaging, and focused, while maintaining high expectations to encourage growth and success.
Whether you’re looking for personalized tutoring, specialized intervention, or enriching support, I’m here to guide your child toward their fullest potential. I look forward to collaborating and creating a positive virtual learning experience!
