During this one time class, students will learn about lions and crocodiles and engage in conversation about who they think would win in a fight! The class will include thrilling video clips of the animals in action. (No gory clips will be shown. Only videos from PG sources like Animal Planet, National Geographic, or Discovery Channel) The class will always begin with a discussion question about an animal related topic such as, "What is your favorite animal and why? What do you think the scariest animal is why? What is the smartest animal? What is the toughest animal?" All students will be encouraged to share their thoughts and opinions during class, but it is voluntary. The students will vote on what animal they think would win the battle and give reasons for their choice. Next, the students will learn some fun facts about each animal that will be participating in the battle. As a class, we will create a comparison chart for the animals. The students will have a chance to debate and discuss why they think a particular animal will win. Finally, the students will learn who won the battle! We will end the class with some discussion questions and time for the students to share their thoughts and opinions about the fight.

Parental Guidance
I will show some video clips of animals fighting in nature. I get most of my clips from Animal Planet shows, Discovery Channel shows, and Netflix shows like Planet Earth. I do not include scenes that are bloody and gory or disturbing. I make sure that the clips are age appropriate from the students and include a G or PG rating.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Parents! Welcome to my Outschool classroom! I have taught online for over 4.5 years so I am very comfortable with virtual teaching. I have taught over 2,000 online classes. I have a Bachelor of Science in Communication, a Kindergarten - 6th grade teaching certificate, a TESOL certificate, and I am currently working on my Masters in Elementary Education. I have worked with children of many ages from preschool to 8th grade. I taught at a private Preschool where I had a class of 20 students. I worked at Boys and Girls Club of America where I tutored elementary and middle school students. I currently volunteer at an elementary school in my city and tutor students after school.
I am married and have two adorable rabbits. I have been a dancer my entire life and have choreographed and taught dance classes for children and adults. My husband and I love to travel. I studied abroad in Spain in college and have had the travel bug ever since. After my husband and I got married, we wanted to live abroad so we began our 3 year digital nomad journey and started in Thailand. I taught online while we traveled all over the world to countries like Portugal, Chile, Vietnam, Tanzania, Indonesia, Peru, Spain, just to name a few. I cannot wait to share my knowledge and experiences with your child! I will offer many classes for you to choose from such as world culture classes, dance classes, math classes, reading classes, and much more. I love to make learning fun! I believe all children have the ability to learn and excel in any subject with the right guidance and support. I am a patient, encouraging, friendly teacher whose passion is to help children build their confidence in school and in life!
