Does your learner love to learn about flamingos, koalas, sloths, dolphins, meerkats and other animals? Does your learner love drawing or want to learn how to draw? Does your learner want an interactive and engaging learning experience? In this weekly club we will do all of that and more! 1. Through classroom discussions, videos, and slideshows, animal life science concepts will be covered including the classification of animals, their habitats, behaviors and characteristics. We will be exploring the world of birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals during the course of the school year. 2. Fine art instruction will follow the science lesson, with a teacher-directed art lesson on how to draw the featured animal, complete with helpful art tips. Creativity will always be encouraged! 3. Students will be invited, but never forced, to engage in class discussions, as well as participate in games during class time, for a fun interactive time with their peers and to reinforce what they have learned. Class size is capped to encourage more social interaction. This is an ongoing subscription class, which means your learner can come and go as they please as space permits. (Drops must be done by Saturday for the following week to avoid paying for that week) Each week will be independent of the other. There are a total of 20 different animals we will be learning about, each belonging to a different category as follows. Here is our planned adventure... LARGE MAMMALS Week 1 Panda Week 2 Elephant Week 3 Giraffe Week 4 Kangaroo REPTILES/AMPHIBIANS Week 5 Sea Turtle Week 6 Alligator Week 7 Komodo Dragon Week 8 Axolotl Salamander BIRDS Week 9 Turkey Week 10 Flamingo Week 11 Snowy Owl Week 12 Emperor Penguin SMALL MAMMALS Week 13 Koala Week 14 Sloth Week 15 Meerkat Week 16 Beaver WATER MAMMALS Week 17 Polar Bear Week 18 Walrus Week 19 Sea Otter Week 20 Dolphin Come join the adventure! ***Printouts for the students to use during class will be posted on the classroom page each week.
