Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
In this class we will learn about the pets of several US Presidents, from President Abraham Lincoln's dog Fido to President Joe Biden's cat Willow. This is an interactive class. I will show the learners photos of Presidential pets, provide some interesting information, and allow the learners to share their own thoughts and observations. We will discuss dogs, cats, horses, and more!
I will explain how each President acquired their dog, cat, bird, etc., and we will talk about how that pet became part of the First Family.

Student participation is encouraged but not required. In order to facilitate learning and maintain a classroom free of distraction, no filters will be permitted, no backgrounds may be used (except for blur), and no emojis may be used other than a raised hand. After learner verification, video can be on or off. Chat will be closed except for student/teacher messaging.

Learning Goals

The students will learn some interesting facts about the pets of several US Presidents.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
We will not discuss any politics or political opinions in this class, only the history of Presidential pets. I will say the name of several US Presidents, but we will not discuss any political positions, elections, or even the names of the political parties. Any questions from learners regarding the subject matter can be asked orally, or can be asked in the chat, but I will answer questions orally for the benefit of the entire class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Doctoral Degree from Florida State University College of Law
Master's Degree in Science from London School of Economics and Political Science
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Florida State University
I'm an attorney and author, passionate about teaching young people the ins-and-outs of law, civics, government, and critical thinking. I have been a licensed attorney for 14 years, and I worked in a public service setting for most of my legal career. In 2022, I wrote, edited, published, and publicized my first book, about US public disability benefits. This opportunity to educate people about how the US government works has helped solidify my desire to also educate young people about US history, the structure of government, the way institutions work, how laws are passed and implemented, and ultimately how this impacts the way in which we treat each other as fellow citizens.

My teaching style involves participation (always optional), interaction, theoretical questions, and hypothetical scenarios to help students understand why people throughout history have made certain decisions, and to think critically about why things happen the way they do. After visual verification (this is an Outschool policy), learner video can be on or off.

I have a BS in Economics and Political Science from Florida State University and a MS in Comparative Politics from the London School of Economics and Political Science. I also have a law degree from Florida State University, and I am licensed to practice law in Florida and Washington.
