Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Kindergarten
Using colorful slides, fun facts, questions and answers, moving like animals, and games like I Spy, we will learn about the lives of animals who make their homes in the Rainforests. We will have lighthearted fun while building knowledge and social skills.  
At the end of each class I offer an optional sharing time, both to build community and to allow practice with presenting and sharing with others.
(Wk of 4/6/21) 1. Mammals of the Rainforests: will include some facts about rainforests and a deeper look at mammals that reside in them.
(Wk of 4/13/21) 2. Reptiles of the Rainforests: will include facts about the ecosystems and a deeper look at reptiles we may find in them.
(Wk of 4/20/21) 3. Birds of the Rainforests: will explore these colorfully-feathered animals and will include facts about rainforest environments.
(Wk of 4/27/21) 4. Amphibians of the Rainforests; will share more ecological facts along with examples of amphibians.
(Wk of 5/4/21) 5. Water Animals of Rainforests: will explore water ecosystems and animals that reside there.
(Wk of 5/11/21) 6. Insects of the Rainforests: will share more facts about the land and about the amazing variety of insects found there.
(Wk of 5/18/21) 7. Treetop and Canopy Animals of the Rainforest: will share about the layers of the forests and diverse fauna that reside there.
(Wk of 5/25/21) 8. Understory and Forest Floor Animals of the Rainforest: will explore the habitat and animals of the lowest two parts of rainforests.
(Wk of 6/1/21) 9. Nocturnal Animals of the Rainforests: will explore why some animals are more active at night and what animals they might be.
(Wk of 6/8/21) 10. Predators of the Rainforests: will explore a diverse group of hunters from rainforests around the world.  

Your child may join at any time, as no previous knowledge is required. After these 10 classes, we begin again with Mammals and continue to rotate through.
Learning Goals
Animal-loving students will explore different types of Rainforest animals while learning about their diets, adaptations and habitats.
Students will use their visual and auditory skills, as well as patience and social skills to find out the answers to questions presented during each class while taking turns and helping each other.  We have fun moving like animals and I may create songs to help us learn and remember.  We will also include simple games to reinforce concepts presented.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in English from Hanover College
Hello, everyone, I am Kelly Bowe, AKA "Mrs. Bowe", and I specialize in guiding learners in the 3-6 year-old age group and  I also have experience leading lower-elementary students in Summer Camps and After School care.  
I was a certified, lead Montessori teacher for 23 years and have provided dynamic learning experiences for hundreds of students in the the following areas:  Language, Science, Geography, Math, Sensorial, Everyday Living, Peace and Grace and Courtesy. I also have a BA in English from Hanover College.
I provide a lively learning environment full of songs, movement, frivolity and acceptance.  I let all children know that mistakes are okay, and that we learn through them.  I have always strived to help each child and parent that I encounter to feel good about and to value themselves. 
I live in Indiana with my husband, two teenage sons, and three cats.  I enjoy singing and dancing, walking, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.  I am also a HUGE Marvel and Star Wars fan and love sharing some Marvel classes with my students.
