Class Experience

This is a series of live classes where students will be able to learn about interesting mammals all around the world. These lessons will have 10 mammals in each lesson. This class is on a 8 week rotation. The lessons are $13 each. Seven of the eight lessons will each be assigned a continent, from which we will learn about mammals that reside on that continent (integrating continent geography into the lesson). The students will learn about the mammals themselves, and they will also learn about subjects such as endangered, extinct, vulnerable, habitat loss, conservation, climate, camouflage, habitat, geography, etc. Each week, there will be a Quizlet activity that the students can be involved in on the classroom page. I will stay responsive to the classroom comments and discussions on the page. Below is an overview of the animals that learners will be learning about each week. This class is the ongoing live version of the flexible schedule version of this class and multi-day live version of this class.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
When defining a mammal, we mention that typically mammals have live young and do not lay eggs (except for a few exceptions). I do not go into further detail about this. I do not talk about mating. If a student does, due to the ages, I will kindly try to change the subject.

Welcome! My name is Kristin, and I am so excited to meet your learner(s)! I am a certified teacher with a B.S. Ed. in Early Childhood Education and in Special Education. I have many years of both classroom teaching and online teaching experience. Outside of Outschool, I am a business owner and I was a horse riding instructor. My philosophy of teaching is not just imparting knowledge to the learner. Instead, I believe that it more important to inspire learners to love learning, while imparting new knowledge. It is the love of learning that will drive a person to grow, succeed, and inspire others. My classroom is a safe place for all learners of all abilities. I am very experienced in accommodating the needs and preferences of each learner. As a teacher, it is my job to make sure that all students are learning, encouraged, and successful in my classroom. As a teacher, I have taught all classroom subjects, therefore, I have a variety of class options. My focus is on literature, life skills, nature, history, and geography. Beyond teaching, some of my personal passions include horseback riding (English and Western styles), reading, playing guitar, dancing, training dogs, learning new languages, and traveling. What is your learner’s passion? I love to be able to incorporate students' interests into their learning experience. I am always open to hearing your feedback, ideas, and preferences. I hope to see your learner(s) soon!
