Students can follow up by drawing another hamster and teaching someone in their family how to draw one.Class Experience
As a Kindergarten teacher, experienced in student inquiry, I will build upon your child's love of hamsters! Students will learn some fun facts about hamsters. They will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their own experiences with hamsters. The students will then learn how to draw their very own cute hamster step-by step, through directed drawing. Using my own easel, I will give your child step by step instructions to help them create their own adorable hamster drawing. Directed drawing is beneficial to children because it helps to develop listening skills, focus and creativity. As well, your child will gain confidence in their ability to create beautiful art. If there is time, drawings may be coloured or painted and shared.

Hello! My name is Ms. Erin and I have been a classroom teacher for over 20 years, specializing in the primary grades. I have been teaching Kindergarten for the last 10 years and am excited to bring my expertise in teaching letters, sounds, phonics, rhyming and reading strategies to the online platform.
