In this class, students will learn about earthworms and the role they play in our lives. We will explore together the importance of worms in our gardening and soil health. Students will also practice taking notes during class discussions. We will cover concepts of science, life skills, literacy, creativity, art, and writing skills in an engaging class designed specifically to motivate their natural curiosity. I will be using interactive discussion, slides, and printables to create a positive learning experience. I will include downloadable materials that will enhance your child's learning experience. Learners do not need to have previous knowledge for this class. Thank you for stopping by, I look forward to teaching your child in my classroom.
Learning Goals
Students will learn all about the importance of earthworms. We cover the simple anatomy of a worm, its characteristics, and its habitat. Soil health will be covered in the class at an appropriate level for learners. Lastly, we will cover a few interesting facts and watch a short 3-minute documentary video on the "Giant Earthworm" by David Attenborough. Taking notes is a skill we talk about and practice in this class with the provided printable for learners.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello everyone! Welcome to Outschool!
My name is Mrs. Wertenberger. I am so excited to meet you!
My passion is teaching and engaging with young learners. I enjoy teaching all topics from science to art, as well as cooking and business education. My classes are a reflection of subjects my children and I have enjoyed learning on our homeschool journey. I want to provide an engaging atmosphere to encourage a love for learning that will last a lifetime!
I have 10+ years of experience as a teacher and tutor. Before that, I spent five years as a commercial produce farmer in the southern United States. My college background is in nursing and food science. I now own and operate a real estate rental business, a licensed dog kennel, and conduct property management.
Teaching is my passion because I can cultivate a love for learning with a positive mindset within my students. We retain the most knowledge when we are fully supported and encouraged. I believe we only accomplish that through passionate teachers!
I live in northwest Montana on a mini-farm in the mountains with my husband, two children, 4 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 horses. I love to cook, draw and explore nature. Life is a grand adventure!Reviews
