Class Experience

In this one-time class, students will learn amazing facts about monkeys. They will also create a unique monkey of their own.  As a class, we will learn about the monkey's habitat, predators, prey, and so much more.  We will take a look at two different kinds of monkeys the Old World monkeys and the New World monkeys. Students will also observe a STEM activity that will help them understand the monkeys' natural habitat. During class, students will view a slide presentation, short video clips, and play a review game.  Throughout the lesson, students will take part in a laughter challenge as they hear different monkey jokes.  At the end of class, your child will have a monkey masterpiece and will be able to tell others interesting facts they have learned about monkeys.  I look forward to teaching, creating, and laughing with your child as they learn all about monkeys.
