Class experience
This is the perfect class for learners who love to talk about animals... wonderfully weird and/or imaginary! We'll look at pictures and read about some wonderfully weird animals like axolotls, pangolins and pink fairy armadillos featured in books and videos like "Weird Animals..." by Grace Hansen and "Awesome 8", by National Geographic Kids. Little learners can build great listening, observation and creative thinking skills during storytime, asking questions and using their imagination....
Students will look at pictures, listen to stories and ask and answer questions, practice taking turns talking, listening and sharing observations and learn fun facts about the animals featured in this class. We will also practice PreK skills like letter/sounds with new vocabulary and engage in fine motor skills when work on the mix and match animal project. ** Please print out the included printable and cut each of the six 3 piece animals apart before class begins. * It's not mandatory that your learner participate in the activity. If they prefer to observe and work on the projects after class that's OK too! ** In order to promote class discussions and participation I do not mute learners' microphones. This also helps learners practice their social skills such as active listening and taking turns. In order for this to work, students need to be in a quiet setting away from background noises (loud conversations, telephone calls, t.v, etc.). **

Bring extra paper, crayons or markers to class too and glue too if you want to glue your new animal creations togther!
Because of the age of the class I recommend a grown up be within "ear-shot" to help with any technical hiccups (mic and video) that might come up. Please print out the project pdf before class and cut out the animals halves. **It's not mandatory that your learner participate in the activity.
