Each day at Critter Camp, we will focus on a different animal group. Monday, we will learn all about Salamanders. Tuesday focuses on Frogs. On Wednesday we will take an in-depth look at turtles. Thursday we will learn about lots of lizards; and Friday is Snake Day - we will see snakes of all sizes!! All lessons will be taught in Spanish. On Monday, learners will be introduced to their “classroom animals” that they will get to know during the week. At the beginning of each camp day, learners will watch the instructor feed the classroom animals and learners will have Observation Time. At this time, we encourage learners to draw or write about what they are seeing. Is the bearded dragon eating her lettuce? Is the poison frog eating his fruit flies? Is the box turtle ignoring her worm? After Feeding and Observation time, we will jump into the days’ lesson - talking about habitats, defense strategies, what they eat, who likes to eat them and how they reproduce. Learners are encouraged to ask questions and try to help other learners answer theirs! Finally, we will look at live variations of that days’ animal. There will be animals from all around the world! Of course class is always more fun when you have a friend, so learners are also encouraged to bring their own critter friends (stuffed or live) to introduce to everyone.
