In this one-time class we’ll explore 4 interesting creatures who call Antarctica home: The Orca, Elephant Seal, Macaroni Penguin, and the Antarctic Giant Petrel. Students will review continents through an interactive slideshow, identify 7 countries with territorial claims to Antarctica, and discuss fun facts about each animal. Throughout the lesson, students will be asked questions to encourage critical thinking and improve retention. Map skills, literacy and vocabulary are also enforced as students follow along reading while learning new terminology. Key terms: katabatic, olfactory, unihemispheric, matriarchal, pinneped, proboscis, molt, naricorn After learning about the animals, we'll play "Guess That Sound!" and take turns guessing the correct animal.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I'm Miss Tatiana. I am an 8th year Home-Educator as well as a Photographer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. My passions include Geography, World Cultures, Art History, Conservation and Animals!
My classes offer a Montessori-style approach to learning, which includes supporting images or video with text, and many open-ended questions to encourage critical thinking skills. Whenever possible, literacy, vocabulary, number sense, science and geography are all baked into my lessons.
My main goal in education is to make learning fun, and to foster a sense of wonder and lifelong curiosity about our world.
My experience in home-education and various homeschool cooperatives have given me the opportunity to work with children of all ages, and create fun and engaging activities that are easily absorbed. I have organized group service projects and extracurricular classes such as Art shows, Geography Fairs, STEAM workshops, LEGO Club, Green Team Recycling, and more! I am also the founder of a Multicultural Homeschool community and offer classes focused on world cultures, art and various other subjects.Reviews
