Studying insects fills a child’s life with wonder, fascination, and endless surprises. The knowledge and understanding of these tiny creatures empowers students to be entertained and learn anywhere. Students will gain an appreciation and respect for this group of creatures by developing an understanding of the insect’s physical features, habitat, behavior, communication, diet, predators, prey, and conservation. In this ongoing class, students will study a new insect each week. Students will use pictures, videos, diagrams, and real specimens to make careful observations and find meaning in detail. This class is developmentally appropriate, engaging, and interactive. “In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we have been taught.” -Baba Dioum I am excited to see your budding entomologist in the classroom! Below is a list of insects that we will study. I will also take the personal interests of my students into account when planning lessons. Honey Bee Ladybug Grasshopper Praying Mantis Dragonfly Ant Madagascar Hissing Cockroach Firefly Monarch Butterfly Cicada Cicada Killer Wasps The World's Biggest Bugs The World's Deadliest Bugs The World's Most Beautiful Bugs

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Maestría en Educación desde Virginia Commonwealth University
Welcome! I am so excited that you are here. My name is Kristen and I live in Richmond, VA, U.S.A. I received a Bachelors of Science degree from Virginia Tech and a Masters of Teaching degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. I currently hold a Virginia state teaching license for grades Pre K-6. I have 9 years experience teaching 3rd/4th grades in Virginia public schools. Prior to receiving my Masters degree, I taught and created curriculum for the Science Museum of Virginia. I also currently teach ESL through an online platform to children all over the world.
I firmly believe that children have an innate desire to learn and that they need many opportunities to explore their world in a safe and loving environment that is developmentally appropriate for them. I believe children learn by doing, making discoveries, forming connections, experimenting, and actively-engaging in experiences that are interest-driven and child-led. I believe that it is my role as educator to provide those types of opportunities for students; especially through an online platform!
I stepped away from teaching in the classroom once I started my family. I am now the mom to three sweet boys ages: 6, 4, and 1. We love going hiking, spending time in the Chesapeake Bay and the Outer Banks, going on daily walks, and Friday night pizza parties.
I understand how maintaining social interactions, and continuing exposure to new ideas and activities is a priority for parents. Outschool is a great place to start! My children take weekly classes from a variety of teachers. It has been a wonderful and rewarding experience for them.
I look forward to meeting your child and being a part of his/her educational journey. See you in the classroom!
