This engaging class for young learners combines science and nature study with literacy. Join me as we explore and learn all about insects and arachnids through fun engaging read-alouds. My classes are relaxed yet structured and highly interactive. I implement a wide variety of teaching methods, including lecture, discussion, read-aloud time, songs, games, and occasionally, slides and videos.
