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 visually explain the topic. Vicky the Vet by Jo Litchfield and Felicity Brooks can be purchased however it isn't required for this class. 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.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
I may refer to a 2-3 minute video in each lesson.
I will show a preserved rat and cat skull.
These may be sensitive issues for young children who may be afraid of skeletons.
We will study microscopic insects and preserved worms that make animals sick.
Some children are afraid of bugs or worms.
Supply List
Learners need a drawing pad or paper. Writing and coloring utensils will be used in the class. Scissors and tape may be needed for some optional activities they can do after class. Students are encouraged to bring a stuffed animal of their choice to class.
