The goal is for students to learn what the life of a vet entails. Also, to introduce them to vocabulary and animal anatomy through the story Vicky the Vet.
My degree is in Biology. I have taught 4H Vet Science and also done Vet Pet Summer Camps at a local private school. My joy is educating children who are interested in this field of veterinary science.
Homework Offered
Students are asked to color different pictures. There are vocabulary words they can copy if they want. The students will receive a coloring book after their first class with teacher Pat. Each day they will be assigned a page to color. They also have parts of the cat, dog, snake, and rat coloring sheets. It includes a cut and paste activity showing the parts to the stethoscope, too. This is optional.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

Grades Offered
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.
Students should have a pencil or pen, scissors, tape, colored pencils, and a sketch pad. Students are encouraged to bring a plushy dog or cat to class.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
I may refer to a 2-3 minute videos in each lesson. I will show a preserved rat and cat skull. These may be sensitive issues for young children that 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.
