This is a one-time class version of Dog News Weekly - a weekly class found here: https://outschool.com/classes/8f21ee06-455a-4bc0-9b04-067ab9989eef Do you love dogs? Do you love hearing about the heroic, funny, or interesting things dogs tend to do? This class is for you then because we will meet to share stories about dogs. I will be choosing a dog article/video to share myself. Before class, learners will use a safe website (link provided below in the sources tab and in the classroom) to search for an article. Choose one article and read it before class. We start class with a check in and share. Then, we learn about the Dog Breed of the Week (chosen by the learners on some occasions) and then each learner will have an opportunity to share the article they found. Articles are shared by my screen and students have the option to read the article to everyone or have me read aloud. If there is time, we end class with a fun dog related quiz or game! Topics are dictated by the "learner-directed" articles. Note: Due to this being a discussion/share class, please join the meeting within the first ten minutes. Your questions about the class, safe-article websites, or anything else can be sent to me by clicking "Message Me" below. Thank you!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Ms. C. I am so excited to see you in my Outschool classroom! I offer many classes related to dogs, wildlife, science, reading, and writing. I love teaching topics from the beautiful animals here on Earth to the gorgeous stars in the sky. I love incorporating reading, art and science all together. I have my Associate’s degree in Animal Science, Associate’s degree in Elementary Education, and my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Middle Dual Education with a specialization in Science. I am a certified teacher, and I am currently a substitute teacher and an Outschool teacher. I strive to support all my students in learning and welcoming them to a safe space. I encourage creativity, pursuing interests, and a passion for lifelong learning. I enjoy reading, writing, and being outside. A hobby that has always helped me relax has been drawing or painting.
