Students will explore the difference between fact and fiction.  Students will learn about the storytelling role of magical and enchanted creatures in fantasy and fiction. Students will learn about medieval-era dragons.  Students will learn about fairies and wee-folk.  They will also discover myth-based mermaids and the legend of Atlantis.. They will discuss whether they believe unicorns exist and laern about their history and legends.  Students will learn new vocabulary words related to the topic as well as interesting new facts.  Students will observe and recreate many of these concepts in hands-on building/drawing/sculpting activities and projects, and through games and in-class discussion.

I'm so excited to share my love of fantasy, and embark on this exciting adventure with you!  I've been teaching STEAM through fun, engaging topics like these to preschool through middle school for 6 years through an independent STEAM education company, and I'm really looking forward to connecting with new students here on Outschool.  Not only will we be learning about dragons, monsters, seas creatures, aliens and more--but we'll sneak in some colors, numbers and math, comparing and contrasting, observation, movement and more--all things that preK, kindergartners and 1st graders love to learn and practice!

Homework Offered
Homework will be assigned on a weekly basis, but will be optional.  Assignments will be used as a way to reinforce lesson material and to allow students to explore the topics in greater detail based on their own interests.  Research, drawing, and fact-finding will be incorporated into these assignments, which will be shared and discussed at the beginning of the next class.
