Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Pre-Kindergarten
In this course, students will learn about insects through play! We will dive right into the world of insects by learning a few basic facts. Using a second camera, I will have a scene set up and somewhere in my scene insects are hiding! Students will each have a chance to guess where they could be. I like to encourage students to compare and contrast shape, color, and size, tell stories of their own bug encounters, and share something of their own. Students are encouraged to bring along insect toys! Parents may hear their students making buzzing noises or hopping around! 

This course is meant to be social, fun, and interactive! I will have a printable worksheet for students to color throughout or after the class, if they'd like.

Hi! My name is Kristi and I am so happy you ventured over to my science learning lab! 

My goal is for students to have fun, maybe get messy, and gain a love for science! My teaching style is interactive and hands-on as I try to bring science to life. My classes work well for the kinesthetic learner. 
You will find that most of my classes have a hands-on component to complement the learning experience and my presentations are very visual. 

I do my very best to keep prices lower than average as I understand how quickly classes add up for parents. Keeping the prices lower also helps parents as there are material lists for experiments and activities. However, almost every class that I have has a coupon! Please reach out if you need assistance. 

When I am not teaching I love to spend time with my daughter outside, gardening, raising chicks, and learning new skills. My goal is to combine some of my hobbies while teaching. 

I have been teaching environmental science to students in pre-k through 12th grade for over 12 years. I have taught in various settings including outdoors, in classrooms, and online. I currently run my own business developing and delivering science lessons and custom curriculums to students in school settings, early learning centers, scouts, libraries, and more! I received my B.A.s in Environmental Science and Sociology in 2016 and my M.S. in Resilient and Sustainable Communities in 2019.
