Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
This interactive FLEX class will cover some of the most interesting and unique reptile and amphibian species in the world. This is a highly interactive flexible schedule class. There will be a lesson video posted each week which can be watched whenever is convenient for the student. These video lessons will have a 8 reptiles or amphibians in each lesson (total of 32 reptiles/amphibians, over a period of 4 weeks). During the videos, there will be fun pop up activities to keep the video interactive and allow the students to be engaged in learning. The students will not only learn about the reptiles and amphibians themselves, but they will also learn about subjects such as conservation statuses (endangered, extinct, etc.), classification, geography, habitat loss, climate, camouflage, etc. On our classroom page, there will be a flow of discussion questions and activities that the students will be able to participate in. There will be fun Quizlet activities that will allow each student to continue to practice their new knowledge. During these four weeks, the students will have the option of working on their own project. They will be able to choose a reptile and/or amphibian that they would like to do research on and create a research project. I will be actively engaging with the students throughout the four weeks.
