In this 4 week class, students will learn all about the 4 layers of the rainforest through an engaging slide show presentation. Students will also have an opportunity to share their knowledge about the rainforest as well. Each week, we will begin class with sharing time, then move into our research for the day. At the end of each class, we will be creating that layer of the rainforest inside of a cardboard box which will be stacked to create a model of the 4 layers of the rainforest! By the end of all four sessions, the students will have an interactive model that can be used for additional research and play. We will be exploring plant and animal life in each of the 4 levels of the rainforest. Week one: Forest Floor Week two: Understory Week three: Canopy Week four: Emergent This class is designed to meet each child at their level and allows for various learning styles. Optional PDF's will be provided but learners are always encouraged to used their imagination and creativity while creating their project!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from University of Maryland, College Park
Hello to Everyone! My name is Miss Meghan and I can’t wait to meet your child. I enjoy teaching a variety of classes for preschool and early elementary ages.
I hold a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Special Education. At the beginning of my career, I worked extensively with autistic children in home settings designing programs to help students access the world around them in an empowering way. After my oldest daughter was born, I became a licensed childcare provider creating a home away from home for many children to grow and learn. When my youngest daughter was born, I decided it was time to explore other options and that is how I landed at Outschool. I am so grateful for this opportunity and love meeting new learners from all over the world.
I have a passion for instilling a love of learning in young children through exposure, messy play, and fun! I strongly believe that letting children delve into learning at their own level and allowing for different types of learning styles sets children up for a life long learning journey.
In addition to teaching on Outschool, I currently homeschool my youngest daughter and am very involved in her homeschool co-op and activities. My oldest daughter, who was homeschooled until high school, is trying public school for the first year! I feel so grateful to have a career that I love that also affords me the opportunity to spend time with my own children as well. In my free time, I enjoy art, brainstorming new lesson ideas, cross stitch, and reading!
I offer science, art, language arts, social studies, math, and social classes for preschool and early elementary groups, as well as social groups for neurodivergent learners! Please feel free to message me with any questions!Reviews
