Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten
In this ongoing zoology class, we will learn about a different animal each week, followed by group discussion. Topics range from animal classification to narwhals to tigers! At the end of each class, we will expand on and reinforce what we learn with music, movement, and art.

This class runs 1 day a week, for 30 minutes a day. I run small groups of 6 so we can get the most out of our interactions and discussions. Please note that I do not mute students upon entry, as I frequently give them opportunities to interact. Feel free to mute if you wish.

Please note: ANIMAL CLASSIFICATION will occur once every 4-5 weeks. It will act as a refresher on the animal groups we will be discussing.
