Beginner Level
The students will learn through discussion and PowerPoint presentation. There will be many pictures of different types of bees and wasps in our class. I will also have some real preserved specimens to show. We will discuss the importance of both bees and wasps to our ecosystems. Students will learn about bees and wasps roles in the food chain, how bees pollinate, and how they affect our food. We will discuss ways to protect these insects. We will also briefly discuss overcoming fear of insects through knowledge, and how to be safe outside to prevent getting stung. We will have open question and answer time towards the end. This class is 35 minutes long to cover basic topics geared towards children in an elementary school age level. A coloring sheet will be provided prior to class for students to print out at home.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Western Governors University
Hi there!
My name is Marie and I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education and Special Education. In my earlier college days I was enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program, and I have direct experience working with children ages 2-22. Some of the subjects that I am passionate about learning and teaching are: astronomy, drawing, animals and earth science! My philosophy behind my teaching is that each student learns differently, and I would like to provide an open-minded environment to help each child maximize their abilities. I enjoy allowing my students to have as much verbal participation as possible!
Some fun facts about me: I have an 11 year old daughter. I have had many types of pets including birds, cats, mice, hamsters, fish, hermit crabs and a tarantula! My 2 most favorite things are astronomy and Halloween. I also work as a special education paraprofessional.! I am excited to meet you and hope to see you in some of my classes!Reviews
