During our class, students will learn about animals in a fun game styled class. We will begin each class with introductions and a fun fact about ourselves. Learners are more than welcome to bring pets or stuffed animals to class. After introductions, the fun begins! I will first tell each student that we are all going to be active veterinarians today! We will be searching for puzzle pieces to discover what animal we will work with today. For every correct answer, we will get a puzzle piece. At the end of class, the puzzle will reveal which animal came into our vet office today. Each student will take turns picking a number between 1 and 10. Once they pick their number, I will pull that card and ask the class a trivia question about animals. Each student will be able to raise their hand to answer, and everyone will get a chance. This will be a fun and interactive way to learn fun facts about animals. Your learner will love this class so much, they will be excited to know I have more brain buster classes posted! Come check them out! **************************************************** If you don't see a class time that fits your needs, please feel free to request a better time. *************************************************************************************************************************** Siblings: We have tons of fun in our class and everyone can join, but please be aware of the policy information. Outschool's learner policy states that all learners must be enrolled in the class. Please make sure to enroll each learner separately via the portal. They are more than welcome to sit in on the same devise as long as I can see them both so we can interact with each other. :)
Learning Goals
Students will learn different ocean life animals and interesting facts about them. They will get to see pictures of animals that are unfamiliar to them also. It's much easier to learn and remember facts when you can put a picture with your information. Pictures are the key for memorization in this age group.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello my future friends! I am so excited to start this journey with your learner! I am fully focused on fun and energetic classes that will open your child’s mind to new and exciting adventures! I strongly believe that everyone, not just children, learn the best when they are having fun and staying involved.
I have a wide variety of education that I will explain in just a moment, but let me start here. I have an amazing 5 year old little girl that has helped me grow as a person and a teacher. She has taught me patience along with the ability to think outside the box in reference to teaching new experiences.
I graduated college with a bachelor’s degree in Criminology & Investigations. In addition to this major, I also received my minor in Communication Studies.
After college, I decided that I wanted to do more with my education so I applied to a 2 year radiography program at an accredited hospital. After completion of this program, I passed my boards and am now a Registered Radiology Technologist- RT(R).
While in radiology school, I began to work from home as an online ESL teacher. If your not familiar with this type of teacher, it’s someone who teaches English as a second language. I acquired my online teaching certificate (TESOL) for this.
My main focus began with the younger groups but as the years went on, I realized I loved teaching all age groups for so many great reasons. From princess crowns to cultural quizzes, we always had fun!
The main thing I learned while teaching was that every child learns differently. While crafts may work for one, games may work for another. This is why I focus my classes around many different teaching techniques. We will use brain busters, coloring, experiments, reading and even prizes!
Something fun and unique about me is that I own a photo booth business! It’s not the typical business, but it sure is fun! I love being part of everyone’s special day from birthday parties to weddings.
Once I figure out how to incorporate this into a class, I definitely will. Make sure to follow my classes to catch new and exciting ones coming soon!
See you soon future friends! :)
