In this engaging class, young children will explore the fascinating world of life cycles through guided illustrations and interactive discussions. Each week, the class will focus on a different life cycle, whether it be of a plant, animal, insect, or a non-living thing in nature. ✴ Guided Illustrations and Discussions ✴ The class will begin with a discussion on the weekly theme and what the children already know about it. The teacher will then share some interesting facts. Together, the teacher and the children will create a drawing that illustrates each stage of the life cycle, followed by a discussion on what happens during each stage and throughout the life cycle. ✴ Understanding Changes ✴ Children will develop an understanding that everything in nature, from plants and animals to insects and non-living things, undergoes changes as they grow and develop. ✴ Building Language Skills ✴ As the children learn about each phase of the life cycle, they will also expand their vocabulary by learning new words and key facts associated with each stage. ✴ Inspiring Curiosity ✴ The class aims to inspire awe, curiosity, and a sense of connection with the natural world. Complimentary Nature Journal Workbook: Each week, you will receive a beautifully crafted nature journal workbook tailored to the weekly theme. This journal is for the children to use at home as they wish, reinforcing the learning from class and encouraging further exploration. This class is designed not only to impart knowledge but also to foster a sense of wonder and connection with the natural world.

We do not use screen share to show presentations or videos and we do not use anything pre-recorded, such as songs. The way class is formatted does not build on each other and no prior knowledge from previous weeks is required. Students may join at any time. INCLUSIVITY This is an inclusive class, meaning students of all abilities are welcome. If a student is unable to communicate verbally they are welcome to use the chat. If your student has any other needs that require accommodations please let me know and we will work together to make sure your student gets the best class experience possible.
