Welcome to Adaptation Exploration: What if You Had...Series Join me on a thrilling journey inspired by the 'What If You Had...' series by Sandra Markle, where imagination takes flight and creativity knows no bounds. In this class, students aged 6-10 will explore the fascinating world of animal adaptations through engaging stories, interactive games, and hands-on crafts. From imagining themselves with the teeth of a shark to the wings of an eagle, students will unleash their creativity, spark their curiosity, and deepen their understanding of the natural world. Get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure where every lesson is a wild exploration into the extraordinary adaptations of creatures big and small! What to Expect Each Week: Story Time: We’ll start with an engaging story that dives into different animal adaptations. Interactive Games: Next, we’ll play an interactive game related to the theme. These games are designed to be engaging, educational, and most importantly, fun! Creative Crafts: We’ll end each session with a hands-on craft project. Your child will create something special that ties into the theme, using materials you likely already have at home. Detailed supply lists will be provided ahead of time.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and a Master of Arts in Teaching from Howard University. After graduation I taught one year in 2nd grade before moving to join the kindergarten team for 5 years. I decided to leave the classroom when my first son was born but my passion for teaching and learning has never dissipated.
