The Classroom Collective

Students walk into Beyond the Music expecting a history elective.

What they get is music, movement, games, laughter, inside jokes, new friendships, and a completely different way of hearing the world around them. 🎶

From discovering artists they never expected to love to understanding the cultural moments that shaped generations, this class goes far beyond playlists and lectures.

By the end of the year, strangers become friends, songs become stories, and students leave with a whole new appreciation for music and the people connected to it.

Beyond the Music with Abbi Meadows is anything but boring. 🎧 She still has room in her T4 and W4 classes. Visit classroomcollectiveok.com for more info.

If there’s one thing to know about Abbi Meadows, it’s that she does not slow down. If she’s not teaching, she’s probably squeezing in a workout, walking outside during an online meeting, or logging miles on a treadmill while somehow still fully participating in the conversation. Her energy level is impressive, but her passion for teaching might be even greater.

As the teacher of *Beyond the Music*, Abbi has created a class that completely surprises students. Because it’s listed as a history elective, many walk in expecting long lectures and endless note taking. Instead, they quickly discover a class filled with hands-on activities, games, team-building exercises, and discussions that bring music history to life.

Students are often shocked by how much fun they have while learning.

As the class explores music throughout the 20th century, students begin challenging their own assumptions about what genres they enjoy. Many discover new artists, develop an appreciation for styles they once dismissed, and start recognizing connections between music and culture. Songs become more than background noise—they become part of a larger story.

But one of the most meaningful parts of Abbi’s class is the community that forms along the way.

Through collaborative activities, presentations, and shared experiences, students build friendships that last long after the class ends. What begins as a room full of strangers slowly transforms into a group connected by inside jokes, laughter, and memories unique to their class.

That’s what makes Abbi such a remarkable teacher.

She creates a classroom students genuinely want to be part of—one filled with movement, curiosity, connection, and joy. Whether she’s leading a discussion, organizing a game, or powering through another treadmill meeting before class, Abbi Meadows brings energy and authenticity into everything she does.

Students may sign up for a music history elective.

What they actually get is an experience they remember.

Intermediate Math is where confidence starts growing and math finally begins to click.

Designed for students preparing for Pre Algebra, this class helps students strengthen essential math skills through clear instruction, steady practice, and a classroom environment that encourages growth instead of fear.

But this class builds more than math skills.

Students will also grow in responsibility, accountability, organization, and independent study habits that prepare them for higher level classes and life beyond school.

This is the kind of class where students begin realizing they are capable of solving problems they once thought were impossible.

Math confidence starts here and Mrs. Waldenville is the Math Whisperer!

Fundamentals of Math is designed to help students build a strong foundation before stepping into higher-level middle school math. Through clear instruction, steady encouragement, and meaningful practice, students will strengthen essential skills while learning concepts like fractions, decimals, order of operations, patterns, powers, roots, and more.

This class is about more than solving problems—it’s about helping students realize they can do hard things.

Students will learn in a supportive environment where concepts are taught together in class, tests are completed alongside peers to help ease anxiety, and growth is valued just as much as correct answers.

Step by step, students build confidence, independence, and the skills they need to succeed in future math courses.

For many families, math can become the subject that brings frustration, stress, and sometimes tears to the kitchen table. Parents want to help, students want to understand, but somewhere along the way confidence begins to disappear. That is where Jaime Waldenville, known by many families as the “Math Whisperer,” changes everything.

Mrs. Waldenville has a gift for helping students feel seen, capable, and calm in a subject that often makes them feel defeated. She teaches math in a way that finally makes sense, breaking difficult concepts into manageable steps while constantly reminding students that mistakes are not failures. In her classroom, mistakes are welcomed because mistakes are how we learn.

Week after week, students discover they are capable of more than they believed. Fear slowly gives way to confidence. Anxiety begins to fade. Students who once shut down in math start raising their hands, asking questions, and trying again.

One of the things students love most is that Mrs. Waldenville begins each class with prayer. It creates a classroom environment filled with encouragement, patience, and grace. Students notice immediately if it is forgotten and are quick to remind her.

Mrs. Waldenville also openly shares that she struggled with math herself when she was younger. She understands the overwhelming feeling of staring at numbers that just do not make sense. That personal experience shaped the teacher she became and now allows her to connect deeply with students who feel the exact same way.

By the end of the year, many students are no longer afraid of math and many parents are relieved to find peace has returned to the kitchen table.
