In this ongoing class, we will learn about a different endangered or threatened animal every week. The learners will be given a note-taking guideline and will take notes during class. After learning about the animal we will then practice writing a paragraph based on the notes they have taken. In this fabulous learning combination, they will learn so much about animals and gain practice taking notes and writing paragraphs. I also offer this class for a younger group of age 6-8, or if your learner needs to go a little slower to practice writing. https://outschool.com/classes/endangered-animals-and-paragraphs-practice-note-taking-and-paragraph-writing-e64FPMa6?usid=ZFL65uyd&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link No previous knowledge required **The animal of the week may change prior to the start of class** **You will not be charged for a week when a class is not scheduled** Week of: 10/23 Grey Wolf 10/30 California Condor 11/6 Red Panda 11/13 Tarantulas

Other Details
Parental Guidance
In this class we discuss the reason animals are endangered which is almost always the result of human habits and activities on the planet. This can evoke strong emotions for some children (it's ok... it does for me too).
Depending on the animal of the week we do occasionally discuss adaptations and evolution of animal species. All information in this class is science-based.
We regularly discuss the need for animals to be able to find each other in nature for breeding purposes. I do not go into any details about how animals breed. I do discuss that they need to find each other, the impacts on populations when they can't, and the various reasons that cause them to not find each other.
Supply List
2 pieces of blank paper and pencil. This can be lined paper or not.
External Resources

Teacher expertise and credentials
I've been around animals my entire life and have worked with them professionally 95% of my adult life. I was previously a Registered Veterinary Technician (Animal Nurse) for 10 years and I also have degrees in Zoo Keeping, Animal Training, and Wildlife Education from America's Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College. I have 11 years of experience as a Wildlife and Eco Educator. I've worked at Zoos, was the Lead Supervisor of a Zoo Day Camp for children, and also founded a non-profit organization that provided hands-on animal education programs. Teaching children and families about the animals and planet is truly my passion!
