Welcome to “Mammals of Africa!” Get ready for a deep dive into Africa’s most interesting mammals. This is the first of a series of my one time lessons teaching about different mammals of Africa. 

To begin, we will review what classifies a mammal and geographical information about Africa to make sure all students have a solid foundation. Then, there will be a picture walk activity to see how diverse Africa’s landscape is. We will be reviewing six amazing animals that can be found in Africa. The animals that will be introduced are: African Lion, Spotted Hyena, Giraffe, Chimpanzee, African Wild Dog, and Potto. We will discuss fun facts, habitats, endangered vs. vulnerable, food, and other fun facts! There will be time for student discussion, reactions, and questions. I will be assessing each student’s learning progress throughout the class by discussion and questioning. Class will be structured, but flexible to adjust to each student’s needs. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or requests.  

This class is an overview/introductory class to allow your student to be introduced to the wildlife of Africa. My hope is that your student will walk away ready to do their own research and see how many more interesting animals that they can find. 

**This class overlaps with my Interesting Mammals of the World Flex class and my Mammals of Uganda Flex class, so please double check the animal list if your learner has taken those classes***
