週刊: 世界で最もグロテスクで、最も不気味で、最もクールな動物

In this ongoing course, your child will learn about everything from the coolest, grossest, creepiest deep sea creatures, to the coolest, grossest, creepiest things on land, and everything in between!  For a weekly breakdown of topics, please see the course outline at the bottom of this section.

The diversity within the animal kingdom is astounding!  In this ongoing class, we will dive into this world by exploring 3 interesting yet creepy, cool or gross creatures each week.  Did you know that the Hagfish is the slimiest thing on earth and that it can fill a milk jug with slime in mere seconds? Ew!  Or how about the fact that there are creatures out there who look like bird poop on purpose? Gross!

Each week, we will thoroughly cover 3 interesting creatures.  Afterwards, learners will be encouraged to share which animal they think is the coolest of the three we discussed that day, and why!  Finally, we will play a short trivia game about what we’ve learned!  Answers are sent privately though class chat, and the game is optional, so there is no pressure for learners to play. They are welcome to observe if they prefer!

Afterward, they can enjoy a game of Kahoot! to test their new knowledge!

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 creepiest, coolest and grossest creatures on the planet!
