Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 3
In this interactive and discussion based class, the student will learn about scientist that study dinosaurs: Paleontologists. What do they do? How do they find bones and fossils? What tools do they use? 
The student will discuss the three types of fossils, and look at examples of each. We will play a game to find different types of fossils, and complete a handout recognizing different types of fossils. 
The learner look at different skeletons of dinosaurs and discuss what happens to the bones when they are found, and how the skeletons in museums are made. 
This class will be highly interactive. The class is centered around a visual slide presentation, with engaging discussions, and multiple activities. 
Siblings:  Siblings and/or co-learners must be enrolled in class to participate. Thank you for helping me keep my class sizes small for paid learners. 

Mute: My classes are very interactive, so I prefer to keep children off mute, when possible. There are times I may have to utilize the mute function, as a lot of background noise makes it hard for me and other learners to hear. If so, no worries. They can remove it to speak. Parents, feel free to use mute, as needed. 

Raising Hands: My one special rule is to raise your hand to speak. I have a couple ways that I make this really fun, and they all seem to do it quite well. No worries if they are still working on this. School is for teaching, and I will teach it to them in a fun way. 

Refunds: I follow Outschool's Limited Refund Policy. This can be viewed on their website.
