In this 4-week flexible schedule course, students will dive into the world of marine mammals. Students will learn all about whales, dolphins, walruses, manatees, seals, and more! Each week will focus on a particular category of marine mammals. The interactive video lessons will integrate vocabulary relating to marine mammals and their habitat. I will be utilizing Edpuzzle to make each video interactive with questions popping up through the video. The presentation is full of information and clear and interesting pictures. There will be postings during the week with discussions and activities that the students can respond to throughout the week. Below is a breakdown of the weekly lesson outline: (Please note, some of these overlap with the Interesting Mammals of the World course) Week 1: Define: marine mammal Topic: Dolphins (learning about 8 different types of dolphins) -Bottlenose Dolphin, Orca, Spinner Dolphin, Heaviside's Dolphin, Baiji, Striped Dolphin, Amazon River Dolphin, and Hourglass Dolphin Week 2: All about whales!

Hello and welcome!
I'm Kristin, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to meet your learner(s)! I am a certified teacher with a B.S. Ed. in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. With years of experience teaching both in the classroom and online, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to my teaching.
In addition to teaching, I'm a business owner and have a background as a horseback riding instructor, which adds a unique perspective to my approach. My teaching philosophy centers around not just imparting knowledge, but inspiring a love of learning. I believe that when learners develop a genuine curiosity, they are motivated to grow, succeed, and eventually inspire others.
I create a classroom environment that is safe, inclusive, and supportive of all learners, regardless of their abilities. I'm experienced in tailoring lessons to meet individual needs and learning preferences, ensuring that every student feels confident and engaged. My teaching covers a broad range of subjects, with a particular focus on literature, life skills, nature, history, and geography.
Outside of the classroom, I have a variety of personal passions: horseback riding (both English and Western styles), reading, playing guitar, dancing, dog training, learning new languages, and exploring the world through travel. I love incorporating students' passions into their learning journey and am always open to hearing feedback, ideas, and preferences to make the learning experience even more meaningful.
What is your learner’s passion? I can’t wait to help them discover new interests and grow in their education. I look forward to meeting your learner(s) soon!Reviews
