About This Activity
One of the many benefits of homeschooling is the freedom to use fun games to engage our children and build skills through play. This class will focus on using games with hidden potential to teach math, language, and critical thinking skills. Games will include a diversity of board games and come with handouts each week for how parents can continue to incorporate these games into their family time. An example of games we will play include Apples to Apples, Werewolf, Charty Party, and Word Up. This will also be a great opportunity for students who might not have a large community of other kids to play games with.. Instructor: Jamye Carr """I have 20 years of experience in public school teaching, specializing in Biology, Chemistry, Aquatic Science, and Astronomy. My teaching style incorporates student guided inquiry based learning, Socratic instruction, and adaptive lessons. In addition to my work in public schools I have worked as a private tutor for pre-med, pre-law and business school test prep company, The Princeton Review, as well as working as their Assistant Director for several years. I am also involved in two major nonprofits, and have worked with them in the capacity of Program Director and Education Director. My strengths involve my ability to work with a diverse population of students, from at risk teenagers to struggling adults. My passion is to make the world a better place, to increase the ability of students to manage their own problems, to solve through critical thinking skills, and to gather and process information skillfully.
