Animal Expedition: Our Ocean Orcas With Story Time and Coloring Sheets

Animal Expedition Series: The Orca! Orcas, also known as Killer Whales, are one of the most beautiful, and mesmerizing ocean animals. In this class, after we get our swimmy silly wiggles out in a short movement song, we will explore the habits, diet, family dynamics, and other surprising information about this striking animal. Exactly why are they called "The Wolf of the Sea?" 

Students are encouraged to interact throughout the class to tell what they know, answer, and ask questions. 
Students will be presented with a colorful slide presentation, be able to ask & answer questions throughout, and finish up by listening to the book, "Can We Go to the Sea?" by Hiroyuki Arai. 
Feel free to color or listen during story time.
If time allows, students may share their favorite stuffy or toy with the class. 

I'm excited to connect with your student and help them engage with our other new friends. 
I realize some learners are a little shy to speak and share in class. That is okay, too! Everyone learns a lot by listening and can still have a positive classroom experience. One of my teacher talents is bringing out even the shyest learner! 
Connecting, encouraging, and having a joyous class gives that learner the confidence to speak and engage when they're ready. 

 As in all my classes,  I like to keep each microphone on so we can practice talking when it is our turn. In the event that there are extra background sounds, I may have to mute learners from time to time. I am never, ever mad at them if this happens. ☺
Please show your student how to mute and unmute themselves so they can do it without the help of a grown-up. 
Thank you for your help and understanding of this!
