Students will meet and interact with the teacher and each other in a live video chat. We will look at a slideshow created by and presented by the teacher where we will learn about those unique traits that make cats so special to us. How can we tell when a cat is annoyed? Can cats see in the dark? Why do cats have whiskers? What about those tails...why do cats have them? We will discover some fascinating facts along the way and create our own simple no sew cat toy that children can share with their own cat(s). Students are welcome to share their cats; pets or a toy cat at the beginning or end of class. Sometimes my own cat Lewis joins in the fun. If there is extra time at the end of the craft, we may watch a short cat fact video.
Learning Goals
Children will learn about the qualities that make cats the incredible animals and pets that they are.
We will discover specific cat traits, what they eat, how they sleep, what they might be trying to say, and many other fun facts.
Students will create their own cat toy for their own very special cat!
