Beginner Level
This 25-minute class gathers weekly to allow students to learn from me: a real-life, enthusiastic and excited, animal scientist! After working in a zoo and in the veterinary industry the past 20 years, I'm excited to share what I've learned. Slides are shared from my screen during class to provide real visuals for students. Some photos are of me out in the field!

🔹 Please Note: 💥 We will never diagnose, treat, or prescribe medications to real pets per O.S. Policy and U.S. Federal Law. The teacher will never give real medical advice 💥 

🔹 All students are welcome, students are given opportunities to develop their communication skills, analytical skills, and problem-solving skills without pressure. However, after verification, I do not require students speak or have cameras on.

Learning Goals

At the end of every class time students should be able to tell a parent or friend:
- The name of the animal we discussed
- List the habitats for today's species
- Describe some animal adaptations of the animal we learned that day
- New vocabulary related to the species.
- OPTIONAL: some students may have a colored sheet after class

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University
Kaitlyn Krotchko
No high risk topics or sensitive information. I have a degree in Animal Science from the North Carolina State University where I minored in Agriculture Business Management and Equine Physiology with a focus on Anatomy and Physiology. After multiple biology courses and zoology, I studied research throughout my college career and worked for many veterinarians over the course of 10 years, including an exotic veterinarian that travels the world. From volunteering with the Carnivore Preservation to passionate world-wide travels to Great Britain and Ireland studying the animal spaces, I am encouraged and excited to teach children about animals too!
