In this exciting and interactive class, we will embark on a journey through the fascinating world of animals while exploring English Language Arts! Each week, students will download and read a different nonfiction book about various animals before class. Our reading materials are designed to spark curiosity and inspire young minds.

This class works great for homeschoolers or as a supplement for public school learners!

What to Expect:

     🔹 Weekly Reading: Each Monday, a new book will be posted for students to read at 
            home. 

     🔹 Interactive Discussions: In class, we’ll discuss the animals featured in the book, share 
           discoveries, and talk about anything else you know that adds to the topic. Everyone’s 
           contributions are valued!

     🔹 Writing Activities: Each week, students will also work on a fun writing activity 
            inspired by the story. These activities will help students improve their writing skills 
            while reflecting on what they’ve learned.

     🔹 Optional Activities: At the end of each session, students will receive optional 
            activities to further explore and reinforce what they learned.
