Calling all dinosaur lovers! If you spend your free time watching Netflix documentaries about dinosaurs, watching dino-themed TV shows, pouring over dinosaur books, playing with dinosaur toys, and wishing YOU could travel to Jurassic World, then this is the club for you! **NOTE: I have two age-groups for this class. There is some overlap in age range, as some students may do better in the younger group and some may prefer the older group. If you need help decided which is the best for...
The main focus will be on allowing dinosaur enthusiasts to share their love of dinosaurs, favorite facts, exciting resources, and prized dinosaur toys with fellow dino-loving friends. The short lesson at the beginning will provide a framework for these discussions and will help the young scientist to build and develop observation, recreation, and communication skills. The field guide will serve as a fun keepsake and reference for future dinosaur studies and reflection.
I'm so excited to share my love of ALL THINGS DINOSAUR with you! I've been teaching STEAM topics like dinosaurs to preschool through middle school for 8 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 the monstrous reptiles of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods--but we'll sneak in some scientific method, math, comparing and contrasting, observation, movement and more as we build important communication and social skills in a safe, inclusive environment. Best of all, your child will have the opportunity to share, share, share all of their favorite dinosaur facts and figures!
***Access to a color printer is required for this course. *** A blank sketchbook, preferably spiral bound for ease of use, at least 8X10 inches or larger. Colored pencils, crayons, markers. Pencil and eraser. Scissors (with adult supervision or guidance, if needed) Glue stick Other creative materials may occasionally be requested, such as LEGO or DUPLO bricks, clay, playdough, or other building/making supplies. Extension activities may require additional materials, but will mostly be easy-to-find, common household items, and are always optional. Printed files will be sent each week for the learner to print and use in class.
We will discuss relevant topics such as carnivores as meat-eaters, extinction, volcanos that are part of the natural world but may be upsetting to some sensitive learners. Please be assured that all content will be presented in a sensitive, age-appropriate manner. Regarding supplies/activities: Movement activities are basic in nature (animal moves, etc) but please be sure to provide adult supervision if you feel it is necessary. Participation in movement activities is not required. Please contact the teacher with any concerns. All challenges will be age-appropriate in their nature and execution. Allergy Note: Playdough may contain wheat, which could cause an allergic reaction if ingested in those sensitive to wheat gluten or with Celiac disease. I am happy to provide a recipe for gluten-free playdough upon request, or suggest alternative supplies.
