Kahoot! is an informal assessment tool which is meant to be fun! Classroom discussion is yet another method of informal assessment.Grades Offered
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Nothing is off limits, from poop to barf, and everything in between! Don't worry though, it's all relevant, and I am very skilled at keeping it classy, yet super silly, while still teaching animal science in a professional manner to ensure that your child will retain the information long-term! This is evident in the thousands of 5 star reviews left by parents just like you on the live version of these classes! Feel free to check the reviews out! Ex: Wombats use their block shape poop to build towers to mark their territory! Ex: When camels, llamas and alpacas "spit" on people, it is actually barf! NOT SPIT!!! WOW!
