Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
In this class students will learn about the different animal body coverings and their importance. Whether an animal uses their body covering for warmth, protection or camouflage, every body covering is important. We will also discuss the habitats and adaptations of the animals that will join the class.  Students will be introduced to these various live animals to help them understand what each animal uses its body covering for, how they survive, where they live and some fun and interesting facts that zookeepers know. Classes are mainly lecture style with many chances for the students to ask questions and share their knowledge. This class is perfect for the animal enthusiast, aspiring zookeepers or those that are curious and want to learn more about animals.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello,
   My name is Cindi Cavallini and I have been a zookeeper for more than 35 years and have been doing wildlife presentations for almost 25 years. I have my own wildlife outreach organization called All About Animals in Dallas, TX and my own animals that come with me to in person presentations. I am a graduate of the Exotic Animal Training and Wildlife Management (EATM) Program at Moorpark College. I am also a professional member of ZAA-Zoological Association of America and AAZK-American Association of Zoo Keepers. I was a zoo manager for 16 years while doing wildlife education and then decided to start my own organization. I have a variety of animals that help to get children excited and wanting to learn more about science and nature and the world around them. My classes vary in topics from the rain forest to reptiles, animal body coverings, Animals of Africa,  and even silly classes like The Real Scoop on Animal Poop and Animal Superheroes! I believe that meeting and understanding more about animals helps children to learn to appreciate and respect them as well as teaching them empathy towards other living creatures and the natural world. Most of my business has become virtual so instead of traveling with me, like in the past, my animals mostly just come to my educational studio now where I teach online classes. When I am not teaching for Outschool I can be found teaching in person with my animals around the Dallas/Fort Worth area with my company All About Animals and caring for and playing with the more than 60 animals that join me in my classes. 
Fun fact about me......my favorite animal is the pangolin, yet I have never seen one in real life.
