Where do elephants live? What do elephants eat? How big are elephants? We will answer these questions - and many more! Join me on an African safari as we learn about African elephants. Grab your binoculars and safari hat as we explore, discuss and share during this interactive, hands-on lesson. Students are encouraged (but not required) to come to class dressed for a safari. We will begin class with a greeting activity and brief discussion about elephants. During our safari, students will encounter a variety of African elephants. They will learn through observation, exploration and discussion. We will use the KWL strategy (what I KNOW, what I WANT to know, and what I LEARNED) throughout the lesson. This is a great way to get students thinking about and discussing the topic. It also reinforces what they have learned. After class, I will send materials for students to make their own African elephant. I will also share some fun “at home” activities to reinforce what we learned in class. Each student will also receive an "African Elephant Expert" certificate! I encourage each student to share what they have learned (and created) with his/her family! *Socialization is a very important part of early childhood development. With a small class size, students have more opportunities for sharing. They also learn to take turns and be active listeners. (For these reasons, I will not mute students unless there is a great deal of background noise or a situation that is distracting to our class.) *If you do not see a time that works well for your student, please contact me or send me a schedule request!* **Stock footage provided by Stand a Up for Nature.

Hello!
Greetings from Atlanta, Georgia! My name is Teri Delvac. I am a Georgia certified teacher and I have been working in the field of Education for over 25 years. I have a Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Mercer University. After college, I spent several years working with young children in preschool and elementary school. I had the unique opportunity to own and operate a private early childhood school. I developed the school's curriculum for both the kindergarten and pre-kindergarten classes. After earning my Master's Degree, I taught elementary school age students. During this time, I served on the curriculum team where I continued my passion of curriculum development. I also earned my English as a Second Language Endorsement. I worked with ESL students in my classroom, and also began working with adult learners. I have taught English to students online for the last five years. I also homeschool my own two children. I have used my experience in the classroom and as a curriculum designer to create an interesting, engaging, and complete curriculum for them throughout the years.
I love developing hands-on, student centered lessons. I strive to create a warm and inviting classroom environment where children feel safe to ask questions, try new things, and even make mistakes! This is how we all learn and grow. Life is full of opportunities when we have the confidence to try. Learning truly opens up the world.
When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my family. I have two amazing children. My son is 17 and my daughter is 14. We like to travel, explore new places and play board games. (Catan has been our favorite family game for the last few years!) I also love animals. We currently have three dogs and one cat.
I am very excited to share my passion for learning with your child. Let's go on a learning adventure together!
