In this interactive and engaging class, children will embark on a journey of discovery, exploring the life cycles of various living and non-living things in nature. From plants and animals to insects and natural elements, each week brings a new theme to explore and understand. ✴ Guided Illustrations ✴ The class begins with a discussion on the weekly theme and what the children already know about it. The teacher then shares some intriguing facts. Together, as a class, the children will create a detailed drawing illustrating each stage of the life cycle. They will then label each stage and discuss the changes that occur throughout the life cycle. ✴ Understanding Changes ✴ Through this process, children will develop a comprehensive understanding that everything in nature, from plants and animals to insects and non-living things, undergoes changes as they age. ✴ Building Language Skills ✴ As they learn about each phase of the life cycle, students will also expand their vocabulary by learning the correct terms 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. ✴ Nature Journal Workbook ✴ Each week, you will receive a beautifully crafted nature journal workbook tailored to the weekly theme. The journal includes sections on science, language arts, math, and creative arts. This complimentary 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 to not only 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 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.
