Learners will be assessed by excitement, participation, and inquiry. We will not have any formal tests, but we will learn, discover, and explore together while checking in for understanding along the way. We will play games, answer questions, and create to demonstrate knowledge.Class Experience

In this multi-day class learners will create an adorable axolotl paper pal using a toilet paper tube! While coloring and cutting, I will sprinkle in axolotl information and trivia questions. On day 1 we will meet the axolotls and color our template using the colors of our choosing. On day 2 we will cut out the axolotl and put together our pal. Learners will be given multiple views of the creation process to make it easy to follow along with the step by step live demonstration. While creating, learners will be able to watch live axolotls and talk about these amazing amphibians with other young enthusiasts. Creating paper pal is a fun and engaging activity. Learners will be asked to color, cut, and either tape or staple to assemble the parts. Parents are welcome to provide support as necessary. I just ask that they do so off camera. Please reach out to me via Outschool Conversations if you have any questions, or would like to discuss your learner prior to class.
Learning Goals
Learners will create a paper axolotl while discussing their characteristics and amazing adaptations.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Creating paper pal is a fun and engaging activity, but can be difficult for some children. If your child needs support cutting, or using tape to wrap paper around a tube, adults are welcome to provide support as necessary. I just ask that they do so off camera.

I have been researching and preparing to care for my axolotls for close to 10 years. I am now lucky to share my home with 3 of these amazing amphibians. I'm so excited to share their feeding time with the Outschool community.Reviews
