Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
Beginner Level
This class introduces students to veterinary science. 

 ***Please note that I prefer students to have their video cameras on during the class. Also, there will be intermittent video clips from YouTube to explain the topic visually.

A child should attend class independently. Parents and siblings are NOT to be seen on camera. If you are with your child, please refrain from talking to your child. Whispers can easily be picked up by the microphone and heard by all attendees, so refrain from this to avoid background noise. Your consideration is much appreciated.

Children should bring craft tools and coloring utensils to each class session. 

Children will learn what the life of a vet is like through the story " I Want to be a Veterinarian by Laura Driscoll". It can be purchased. However, it isn't required for this class.
After a short reading, we observe and discuss what the veterinarian does at work. We will watch a video and then do an activity related to the topic. Students may also orally learn parts of various animals.

Learning Goals

Students will learn about the different types of veterinarians there are.
Students will learn vocabulary.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
I may refer to a 2-3 minute video. Some videos are rather graphic. For ex., the farm vet will show how he has to go through the anus of a cow to examine it. I may show preserved animals. These may be sensitive issues for young children who may be easily frightened.
Pre-Requisites
A child should attend class independently. Parents and siblings are NOT to be seen on camera. If you are with your child, please refrain from talking to your child. Whispers are picked up by the mic and heard by all attendees.
Supply List
Students need a paper or a sketch pad. They should have craft and coloring tools available.
