Description

Class Experience

In this class we will learn some facts and create a craft to accompany each creepy crawly we learn about. While these reptiles and insects show up often throughout the year; we see them more often in summer due to the warmer weather each of these animals prefer. This class goes into the common questions about each animal, such as 'what do they eat?', 'what hunts them?', 'where do they live?', 'how do they grow?', and discussing why or why not they wouldn't make a good pet.

Each class start...

Students will be able to state what green anoles, black racers, beetles, and dragonflies eat.
Students will learn interesting facts about each animal, including their life cycles.

That is up to the parent. However, in class I will be calling on students to share facts they found interesting and to share their crafts.

About Me

I use to teach grades K-2, with lots of kids added in who needed different ways to learn and be successful and I loved (almost) every minute of it! Now I am a full-time homeschooling mom to 3 boys who all learn in very different ways. My classes...
