Students will develop listening and conversation skills while also learning more about the “unknown” or controversial aspects of space, extraterrestrials, UFO’s, signs of alien visitations here on Earth, and much, much more. *Emphasis will be placed on conversational skills between the learners in a respectful, non-judgmental format.

I have always had a love of space, from the moment my grandpa, an amateur astronomer, let me look through the 10-foot telescope he built all by himself, to watching shuttles & satellites lift into the sky, and watching some fall back to the earth. I have spotted some of the largest dust storms to hit Mars, and have enjoyed looking at the various craters on our Moon and seeing the rings around Saturn, all from my own backyard in Missouri & while using telescopes my grandpa built. I have never ceased my exploration and search, looking to the skies to watch for eclipses, comets, and so much more! My love of all things Space has only increased with time, as has my exploration. I feel it is the next great wave of our future! As a teacher with over 30 years of experience working with children of various ages, teaching various space lessons, and exploring the more controversial aspects of space with my family and friends, I’d love to share my knowledge and insight with the next generation as I hope to instill the awe-inspiring beauty the Unknown Universe holds, as well as encourage students to dream and believe! I hope to see you in our Conversations of Space Club!
