Class Experience

Welcome to Wild Canine Diary! Travel to different continents and document your learning with fun writing assignments. Earn a specific canine bookmark for each canine! Complete a continent and you will earn a Wild Canine Researcher badge on your passport and a Wild Canine Researcher Certificate for the specific continent! Earn all badges and receive an Ultimate Wild Canine Researcher Certificate! 

You will learn about the wild canines around the world! With the help of a slideshow including fun multiple-choice questions and pictures, we will discuss facts about one canine each week. I will share information such as continent, habitat, markings, special adaptations, sounds, endangered status, and even some history. I encourage students to share what they may already know and/or what they are hoping to learn. 

Passports: Passports are a place to keep all your earned badges, but also all your assignments as a record of all the amazing felines in the world.
Printable: Passports can be made with pencil/paper or by using the printable found on the classroom page after enrollment. Passports are a place to keep the badges you earn. Each badge is printable.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Ms. C. I am so excited to see you in my Outschool classroom! I offer many classes related to dogs, wildlife, science, reading, and writing. I love teaching topics from the beautiful animals here on Earth to the gorgeous stars in the sky. I love incorporating reading, art and science all together. I have my Associate’s degree in Animal Science, Associate’s degree in Elementary Education, and my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Middle Dual Education with a specialization in Science. I am a certified teacher, and I am currently a substitute teacher and an Outschool teacher. I strive to support all my students in learning and welcoming them to a safe space. I encourage creativity, pursuing interests, and a passion for lifelong learning. I enjoy reading, writing, and being outside. A hobby that has always helped me relax has been drawing or painting.
