>>>PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLING: The live portion of this class is an hour-long, fast-paced, lecture-based presentation, with limited Q&A breaks as time permits -- you know your learner(s) best, so please consider if the session length and format is a good fit for them<<< 🦄 National Unicorn Day is held on the 9th of April every year. While mythological unicorns are usually the focus of the fun, zoologists also like to take the day to celebrate all the real "unicorns" of the animal kingdom. :) So, in this special session we will meet animals like the Unicornfish...Unicorn Mantis...Unicorn Shrimp...and others like the Narwhal and the Indian and Javan Rhinos which also sport single "horns!" 🦄 ***UPDATED*** every day is Unicorn Day if you want it to be, so this class will stay active year-round. 😎 This single session will consist primarily of slides and multimedia content accompanied by lecture, but there will be opportunities to ask questions as time permits, and the classroom board can also be utilized before and after class to engage in discussion about the topic. Additional resources will also be posted in the classroom after the live session ends to help further your study of the species introduced in class!

am a naturalist with a focus on zoology, and enjoy sharing my love of the animal kingdom with lifelong learners of all ages through various education and outreach activities both online and off. I especially enjoy connecting children to nature, and keeping their natural scientific sparks lit!
I also have nearly two decades experience as a home education advocate, including homeschooling my own children from preschool through high school. I am a big proponent of flexible learning, individualized education, and supporting fellow neurodiverse learners, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me with requests for accommodations or additional resources. We all learn in our own way and time, but everyone should have the chance to learn about how cool animals are! 😎Reviews
