Key concepts include: -geography -habitats -physical and behavioral adaptations -diet -food chains and webs -instincts and learned behaviors This is a relaxed and interactive class in which students will learn through engaging photos, video clips, sharing personal connections, much laughing, and by creating their very own shark trading cards to keep, collect, share, and admire. An optional drawing activity will be presented as well. ***Please note that some images and videos shown in class will show shark stalking, attacking, and/or eating their prey. If your child may be scared or upset viewing these pictures, another class may be more suitable for them.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Virginia Commonwealth University
Welcome! I am so excited that you are here. My name is Kristen and I live in Richmond, VA, U.S.A. I received a Bachelors of Science degree from Virginia Tech and a Masters of Teaching degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. I currently hold a Virginia state teaching license for grades Pre K-6. I have 9 years experience teaching 3rd/4th grades in Virginia public schools. Prior to receiving my Masters degree, I taught and created curriculum for the Science Museum of Virginia. I also currently teach ESL through an online platform to children all over the world.
I firmly believe that children have an innate desire to learn and that they need many opportunities to explore their world in a safe and loving environment that is developmentally appropriate for them. I believe children learn by doing, making discoveries, forming connections, experimenting, and actively-engaging in experiences that are interest-driven and child-led. I believe that it is my role as educator to provide those types of opportunities for students; especially through an online platform!
I stepped away from teaching in the classroom once I started my family. I am now the mom to three sweet boys ages: 6, 4, and 1. We love going hiking, spending time in the Chesapeake Bay and the Outer Banks, going on daily walks, and Friday night pizza parties.
I understand how maintaining social interactions, and continuing exposure to new ideas and activities is a priority for parents. Outschool is a great place to start! My children take weekly classes from a variety of teachers. It has been a wonderful and rewarding experience for them.
I look forward to meeting your child and being a part of his/her educational journey. See you in the classroom!
