In my ongoing version of this class we learn about several breeds from a region in one meeting. In this class, we will focus on one breed and take a deep dive into all sorts of interesting facts. We will look at the Fjord's physical traits, its history, where it came from, what its uses are, and any other fun things we discover along the way! This class meets once, which includes visual presentations and interactive discussion. My goal is to provide an educational experience for my students that is an enjoyable discussion and adventure! No prior experience or knowledge required, just a passion for horses. I keep a "relaxed" policy on all my classes, I find that some people in the overall horse community can take things too seriously and it destroys all the fun and puts unnecessary pressure on students.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about the exotic Fjord horse.

Parental Guidance
1. Avoid interrupting the teacher/other students. I know internet lag can cause overlap, so try to make sure the other person is done talking first to help mitigate this. Raising your hand if you have a question or comment also helps keep things orderly and gives everyone a chance to talk.
2. Participate in class in a quiet room, if possible. If there is background noise, please mute yourself unless you are speaking.
3. Per Outschool policy, parents must stay off camera and not interact with the class (this includes posing as the child in the chat and messaging functions, telling the child what to say or do, challenging/asking/interacting with the teacher). Of course, if your student is having technical difficulties you can help them. I am more than happy to interact with parents outside of class time via Outschool’s private messaging system.
4. Do not distract the class by abusing drawing tools in Zoom.
5. Use the chat box for things relevant to class. I check it every time that it is used and if it is for goofing off it takes away time from other students who are paying attention.
6. Per Outschool policy, all students must turn on their cameras so I can confirm their identity for safety reasons. Once I have confirmed this, I have no problem with them preferring to keep the camera off.
7. If you are having internet connectivity issues, please let me know.
8. If the student will be absent for a class, please let me know ahead of time if possible so I can adjust the class accordingly.
9. Students that are misbehaving get two warnings, then the third offense will result in the child being put in the Zoom waiting room until the class has concluded. No refunds will be given if this has occurred.
For any inquiries/comments regarding classes, please message me privately so I can do my best to address your needs. Thanks!
