Course Description
Welcome aboard the Titanic. In this interactive history class, learners will step back in time to 1912 and explore one of the most famous ships in history. We will learn why the Titanic was considered remarkable, what life was like for passengers, how the ship was designed, and what happened during its first and final voyage. Then, the emergency begins. As the events unfold, learners will make decisions about what they would do in different situations. Should you stay where you are or move to a safer area? What should you bring with you? When should you follow instructions? What choices could help you stay calm and safe during an emergency? Throughout the class, students will learn what actually happened aboard the Titanic and compare their ideas with the choices passengers and crew members faced that night. We will also explore the role of lifeboats, life jackets, communication, weather, and rescue efforts. The class will end with a hands-on design challenge. Learners will become inventors and create a rescue device that could help people during an emergency at sea. They may design a better life jacket, a signaling tool, a floating rescue device, a waterproof emergency kit, or another safety invention of their own. This class is designed to be interactive, discussion-based, and creative. Learners will make predictions, solve problems, think through historical decisions, and use what they have learned to design a practical rescue idea. By the end of class, we will answer the question: Could YOU survive the Titanic?

Master Speller Academy: Word Patterns, Strategy & ConfidenceI feel like this class really was a game changer for my daughter with spelling! Spelling is not my favorite thing to teach, and my daughter just is not into it and has low motivation to learn about it. Putting her into this class helped so much. I think having Ms. Kristin teach her helped my daughter to know that spelling is important and not just because I say it is! Her classes always have hands on and visual activities that are so much fun, so I feel like it helps when you have learners that need a bit more hands on approaches to things like this. She also learned more about word patterns, and is recognizing those patterns more frequently now! It's nice having some other kids in the class, too. She is pretty social, so enjoys learning about this with Ms. Kristin and other students! She feels safe to make mistakes and learn from them in Ms. Kristin's class, which is huge!

Spell & Play: A Game-Based Spelling Adventure Part 1Spelling is not my favorite subject to teach! It is not my kids favorite subject to learn about either. Ms. Kristin made this into a fun gamified class, which I kind of feel like can be hard with spelling (at least for me). It was really nice to be able to have someone else teach this class and give me a bit of a break to work on other subjects with my other kids! I can tell they are recognizing more spelling patterns now, which is awesome! They really learned a lot!

Grammar, Writing & Reading Mastery: Comprehensive 4th–5th Grade Language ArtsThis is such a great class! This was such a great help in getting some deep LA lessons in for my oldest daughter, and she really does better in a class because she likes bouncing ideas off of others in subjects like this. It really made Language Arts a lot more fun and engaging, and it took something off of my plate which was a huge help!

History Builders: Famous Americans Brick BuildingMy girls look forward to this class every single week. It's such a fun way to learn history, getting to build what they're learning so the historical figures actually stick. They come running out after class every week to show me what they've built and tell me all about the history behind it.
