🐶 This group is for those learners who want to show off their pets, learn about different pets, and chat with friends! 😺 In this group, I will post prompts, ideas, and challenges, however, learners will be free to post about their pets, give tips of their own, ask questions, and share ideas as they would like. Learners can participate as much or as little as they would like, however, all members will be encouraged to be supportive of other members. 🐰 Currently, I have challenges to teach tricks, make food dishes, share pet care, and more! Learners will have things to do as soon as they sign in but I will add posts periodically to allow for more fun! As learners join, they too will add more posts and the group will take off! The ideas and challenges I post will be based on many things... including holidays, seasons, materials, and more. 🐸 My role as moderator will be supportive. I will post and be available to answer questions. I will also monitor the group daily to make sure that group rules are followed. The goal is for the learners to have fun and share their ideas. While I am a moderator and facilitator of the group, and I hope to create a fun environment for those who love animals, I can not make others in the group participate. FAQ: ▪ Why is this group so inexpensive? - I have 3 children and I know how expensive everything can be for families especially those with multiple children. I try to price everything I do with that in mind. As this class is not in the live format and does not require any grading or homework assignments, I can reduce the price. ▪Why should I choose this pet group? - This is a fair question, there are a few on Outschool. All I can say is I do my best to bring value to everything I do. I also love animals! I currently have 8 cats and 2 dogs, but I have had rabbits, mice, and birds, and I love all animals! ▪ Is this a live class? - No, this is not a live class. Learners are free to visit the group whenever they like. This doesn't mean I will be in the group at that time, but they will be able to leave notes, comment, add their posts, and do any challenges presented. 🔴Learners who do post will be required to be appropriate and those who comment will be kind, or they will be subject to removal from the group.

Guidelines
Welcome to our Group! I want all of our learners to feel comfortable, connected, and safe. That's why I have 3 rules I ask you to follow: Be Kind, Be Safe, and Be Respectful.
Be Kind - Help all learners feel welcome and included. Teasing, name calling, or bullying anybody in our community? Nope. Not happening here
Be Safe - Keep your personal information private and never ask other learners for theirs. Keep your full name, home address, email, and school name private.
Be Respectful - Treat others how you want to be treated. Keep language clean. If you wouldn't say it or share with your grandma, don't do it here. Also, please make sure to be covered up in videos and pictures... pj's are fine, but clothes are required!
This is a group, not a live class. Learners are here to do things on their own schedule, some may do all the challenges, post updates on their pets, and comment on everything, while others might read everything but never comment, and some might do a bit of both... all is ok. Just be yourself and have some fun. Comment and encourage others in the group and remember the you participate, the more fun it will be for everyone!
Lastly, you are more than welcome to create your own post for others to comment on, but please only start a new thread if it is one of the following...
▪ A picture of your pets
▪ A tip about your pet
▪ A fun fact about animals
▪ A question about pets (yours or others in general)
▪ A pet related challenge or idea that others can do
This doesn't mean that you can chat with each other, it just means that the actual posts should stay pet related. If you post about your dog and find out that another group member likes soccer... awesome! You can chat in the comments about soccer, Roblox, Minecraft, or whatever you'd like (as long as it is appropriate). By doing this it will help us keep the group tidy and easy to navigate!
If you have any questions, please let me know!

What a cute bird! I only have a cat and 2 dogs but I'd love to learn more about birds!
I have a turtle and cleaning its cage can be a bit messy!
I have an iguana, her name is Verde. Actually she is my dad's pet but I love to help him with her. She likes to sleep under her heat lamp.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, my name is Bettina! I have been a teacher on Outschool since 2020 and I teach on 2 additional online platforms. I have a biology background, however, I studied US and World History for 3 years in college, as well as 2 years of Chinese.
I have always enjoyed teaching. My first teaching position, was in Moscow, Russia, teaching English as a second language. Since then, I’ve taught in various settings which include a cooperative, a preschool, and as a tutor in the areas of math, science, and English. I have taught a wide range of ages, often together, but on Outschool, many of my classes are focused on the elementary-middle school ages.
Today, in addition to online teaching, I am a homeschool mom to 3 children. I believe learning is important but should also be enjoyable. I’m definitely not a perfect teacher, but I do put my all into what I do because I believe that teaching the love of learning is very important.
In our spare time, my family and I enjoy binge watching documentaries and playing games together. We also garden and have a love of traveling. I’m an animal lover, I love to cook and bake, and I also like science fiction movies! I am currently furthering my Russian language skills, have begun learning Norwegian and Spanish, and hope to learn ASL, the guitar, and the piano... in the future.
🔵Parents please note: I have begun to take on more private individual and group classes. This means that I am teaching classes that do not appear on my schedule and also that I do not schedule my classes more than a couple times a day. However, if you are wanting a class for your student or group of students during a time that I do not have scheduled, please reach out to me. I will try to accommodate it!
