1 file available upon enrollmentPlease print the attached sheet out or have your child draw it out before each class. It will help them as we go along:)
Classroom discussion/participation, as well as a Kahoot! game after class will be used for informal assessment.
45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Do not worry if you do not own a printer, your learner can still actively participate and enjoy this class even without the printout! We will make use of Kahoot! and YouTube videos to enrich the learning experience. We will also touch briefly on evolution as well as Pangea, which is the most likely explanation for why there is a snake mimicking chrysalis on one continent that most closely resembles a snake on another!
