The diversity within the animal kingdom is incredible!  In this class, we will dive into this world by exploring 4 unique creatures from the Amazon Rainforest each week.  Did you know that shape-shifters aren't just a myth? Or that there are otters large and fierce enough to kill a Crocodile or a Caiman?  You may also be surprised to learn that Piranhas don't attack swimmers unless they feel threatened - if you leave them alone, they will leave you alone!

Upon the conclusion of class, we will play a short trivia game about what we’ve learned!  Afterward, they can enjoy a game of Kahoot! to test their new knowledge!

Approved YouTube videos pertaining to the animals we are studying each day will be posted in the classroom to enhance your child's learning experience.

Learners will also be encouraged to post their ANIMAL HIGHLIGHTS from each class!  I will guide this discussion on the classroom wall so that everyone has the opportunity to share what they feel were the most interesting facts/highlights from each class!

As always, questions and comments are welcome, and my enthusiastic, authentic learner based approach will ensure that your child gets the most out of our time together.  They will be able to come to you with new knowledge to share, so that you too, can share in their learning experience!

I look forward to building this community of like-minded learners as we take on the coolest creatures in the Amazon together!
