Learners will have plenty of opportunities to interact with me throughout the class in various ways. Each session will begin with a brief, engaging presentation using slides and video clips to introduce the featured animals. Throughout the lesson, students will participate in guided discussions, where they can share their thoughts, ask questions, and make connections to animals they’ve seen or learned about. We’ll also incorporate interactive games like trivia, scavenger hunts, and movement activities to keep students engaged. Hands-on elements such as drawing challenges, mini-research tasks, and storytelling prompts will encourage creativity and deeper thinking. My goal is to create an interactive and fun learning environment where every student feels excited to participate and explore the animal kingdom!
Learning Goals
Recognize key characteristics of mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Georgia Teaching Certificate
I am an experienced educator with a strong background in teaching young learners in both classroom and online settings. I currently work at Union County Elementary School in Georgia, specifically in the Head Start program, where I teach foundational skills to young children, fostering curiosity and a love for learning. Additionally, I have designed and taught various online courses for children ages 5–9, including interactive science and literacy-based classes on Outschool.
My experience includes teaching early childhood science, incorporating hands-on learning and interactive discussions about animals, nature, and the environment. I have also developed lesson plans aligned with Georgia state standards for kindergarten and early elementary students, covering topics in life sciences, earth sciences, and reading comprehension.
Beyond formal teaching, I have a deep passion for wildlife education and have created engaging lessons on animals, habitats, and conservation. I integrate storytelling, games, videos, and movement activities to make learning fun and interactive. My goal is to spark curiosity and encourage young learners to explore the amazing world of animals in an engaging and meaningful way!
