Does your child constantly ask you for a pet? Weather it be a dog, cat, fish, or hamster? Well let's get their imagination going with the thought of having a pet PENGUIN! Get ready to learn all about penguins in this one time class. We will learn about different kinds of penguins, their habitat, what they eat, and what they like to do for fun! The students will learn letters, letter sounds and colors associated with penguins. The students will see and discuss real pictures of penguins through a power point. Halfway through class, I will refer to the coloring sheet. Students can keep their hands busy while continuing to learn about penguins. Students will then share how they would take care of a penguin if they had one as a pet! This is a very interactive class with lots of questions and sharing. I do enforce raising your hand and taking turns throughout class. Sharing is encouraged but never mandatory. At the end of class, we will take turns playing a penguin memory match game! If time allows, the students can share their picture (if they are comfortable) with their peers. Class structure: -Introductions + Hello -Class expectations -Discuss what are pets and share if you have any pets -View a slideshow of penguin facts -Learn the letter Pp, the sound it makes, and other words that begin with Pp -Share how we would take care of a pet penguin -Play a penguin memory match game -Share your coloring sheet if you like -Goodbye Hope to see you soon!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am Ms. Nikki!
I am so excited to be back teaching on Outschool! I took the year off to be home and care for my boy/girl twins born in June 2021, as well as my 4 year-old-son. It's been a fun, busy year with my growing family and moving into a new home. I've really missed teaching other children through this awesome platform, so I can't wait to meet your child!
I have my Early Childhood degree, Minnesota teaching license, and was a Pre-K classroom teacher for 8 years before staying home full-time with my kids! I am in love with all things travel + animals + teaching. I have taught in Minnesota, Texas, Australia, Cambodia, and as online ESL teacher for children in China.
I believe young learners succeed when given the opportunity to participate, be active, and hands-on. Early childhood education is a vital part of a child's development, not only academically but in their social, emotional, and physical needs as well. My classroom will keep students engaged and introduce them to a love of learning that will hopefully last a life time! Your child will have a blast in my class through songs, books, movement, questions and answers, and hands-on learning! My classes focus on introducing letters, numbers, handwriting and animals!
When I am not teaching, I can be found playing with my kids, doing a puzzle, walking/running my Australian Shepherd, or traveling the world with my Australian husband (Yes, I LOVE Australia).
Please feel free to reach out with any questions about classes or scheduling. I am happy to accommodate as I can.
I hope to see you in my classroom soon!
