Class Experience

Through the use of guided illustrations, children will learn about a different life cycle each week. 

We start the class by discussing the theme and the children's knowledge of the theme, then the teacher will share some interesting facts. 

Together the class will create a drawing that shows each stage of the life cycle, finishing by labelling each stage and discussing what happens during the stage and throughout the life cycle.

Children will develop an understanding that plants, animals, insects and non-living things in nature go through changes as they grow older. 

Students will build language as they learn the correct vocabulary terms and important facts for each phase of the life cycle they are studying.

This class is designed to inspire awe, curiosity, and connectivity with the natural world. 

Each week the you will receive a beautiful nature journal workbook for each theme. Within the journal there are pages on science, language arts, math and creative arts. It also includes the labels needed in class. This is a complimentary journal for the children to use at home as they wish.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT  

This class is low-technology, meaning we use Zoom only as a way for learners to interact with a teacher through technology. 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 it does not build on each other and no prior knowledge from previous weeks are 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.
