Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
Beginner - Intermediate Level
In this 6 unit self-paced course, students will be introduced to the 6 main animal groups ( mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects.) Students will learn about the characteristics of each type of animal and will be presented with many examples of different animals in each group. They will complete a craft based on the animals learned about in each category.
Each unit will consist of 1-2 videos that will contain a vibrant slide show and engaging lecture, as well as a step by step explanation and demonstration of that unit's craft. Each video will be about 15-25 minutes long. 
The students will also complete a short quiz after the lesson.

Here is the breakdown of the units:

Unit 1: Mammals 
Craft: Mammals hand print paintings

Unit 2: Birds
Craft: Birds directed drawings

Unit 3: Fish
Craft: Construction paper fish

Unit 4: Reptiles
Craft: Paper chain pythons

Unit 5: Amphibians
Craft: Frog directed drawing and painting

Unit 6: Insects
Craft: Fingerprint insect jar

Since this is a self-paced class, there will be no live meetings. Students can complete the tasks at their own pace throughout the week. 
No prior knowledge about animals is required in order to participate in this course.

I look forward to teaching your child!
