Class Experience

In our ongoing class together, we’ll examine the realm of birds. Birds are a diverse group of animals that have a unique feature that’s all their own- feathers. Yes, birds are the only living animal that has feathers. We’ll delve into the kingdom of birds and discuss many characteristics of these creatures such as their beaks and wings. We’ll learn about their lightweight skeletons as well as their sense of sight. Birds are amazing and a delight to explore. During each class, a slideshow will be presented to share visuals and facts, in addition too engaging activities. You may choose to join two, four, or all six weeks!

Each week a bird will be highlighted along with a different characteristic:

Welcome!

It continues to be a privilege to teach on Outschool, and a joy to be able to reach learners around the world. I’m Shelmika or Mrs. Seashell, and I am just as excited to be teaching today on Outschool as I was a year ago. 

I was a Homeschool parent of three, but all three of my children have graduated as of May 2023, and now attend different universities across the US.  As I enjoyed the daily experience of teaching my children, I also had the opportunity to volunteer as a pre-school teacher. Additionally, at a local school district, I worked as a Social Service Advocate, supporting learners outside the classroom. I have a Bachelor’s of Science degree, and have completed some graduate education coursework as well. 

As a teacher, I especially enjoy exploring the world around us through nature studies. Therefore, my Outschool library of classes will mainly include Science/Nature classes. During each class, I enjoy participation from all learners, so discussion is encouraged, and I endeavor to create a safe and relaxed environment with engaging material that will boost a learner’s interest, and thereby their love of learning.

I’m excited to guide your learner on their knowledge quest, and I hope to see them soon on Zoom!

Please contact me if you have any questions or comments. Thank you.
