Birds are an entryway for all ages to care about and explore the natural world of the present, future, and prehistoric past. From the flightless aquatic penguins of the south to the breathtakingly beautiful birds-of-paradise in the equatorial tropics, our planet is fantastically full of fascinating flamboyance, flight or lack thereof, and of course FEATHERS! There are so many amazing species to love and learn about no matter where you may be! Birds are some of the most successful and diversely speciated vertebrates/boned animals to ever evolve, especially flighted. The Earth has an immense variety of environment and ecosystem combinations that birds have been capable to survive and thrive within. These unique places across our planet all vary in moisture and temperature, as well as many other factors like light, air quality, and other living things which all play a part in how birds will adapt. However, the presence of flight will allow these creatures to go anywhere and change to the environment with ease! Birds are present worldwide on each of the continents, as well as the surrounding waters and often times the skies! This is a class all about the different groups and species of birds that can be found across Earth's ecosystems. Learners will virtually travel our planet visiting terrestrial (land) and aquatic (water) habitats and biomes in order to learn about unique species. We will learn about specific notable species and overall groups of animals that can be found on each of the continental land masses as well as our oceans and seas! There will be plenty of facts provided on these animals as well as their characteristics, species diversity, and what makes them so special! We will work on broad (all encompassing) and narrow topics. There will be a focus on each groups natural history/biology, anatomy, and unique adaptations. Certain classes we may have video clips to watch, activities like games/coloring pages/etcetera, and discussion about these creatures. *WEEK 22 - 8/11/2024* If you have questions regarding the schedule please reach out.

Hello prospective parents and guardians! My name is Greg or "Mr. G" and I'm an educator from New Jersey, U.S.A..
For over two decades I’ve had a fascination for all there is to do with the natural world and the creatures that call it home. I have worked with and cared for a multitude of species (dogs, frogs, cats, birds, rodents, lizards, snakes, turtles, hedgehogs, fish, various other wildlife, and much more!) throughout the entirety of my life as I tend to my own mini animal sanctuary, love, and work conserving/ researching animals from around the world. I have been teaching learners from over 50 countries here on Outschool since early 2021! :D
I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University where I received a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Minor in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences! My coursework in university focused on veterinary sciences, biological/natural sciences, and wildlife (Mammalogy, Ornithology, Herpetology, Conservation, and Management). I spent time as a veterinary assistant, have participated in university studies and ongoing research regarding plants and animals (invertebrates, reptiles, various flora), have worked as a fauna and flora surveyor through college and beyond. My continued research of the world around us and outreach is one of my greatest missions. I love hearing about my students' interests and knowledge and look forward to imparting my own to them as well!
My focus as an educator is fostering a love for learning, animals, and what the world has to offer past, present, and future. My teaching style is inclusive, interactive, and hands-on. I believe learning should be fun, enjoyable, and thrilling for both student and teacher. I have a variety of animals that can be incorporated in class to help get learners engaged and excited about nature and the world we live in. We need to get our next generation connected to nature and the organisms that live alongside us to pass the torch and save all that we can!
My passions apart from animals are cooking, art, conservation of the planet, and outdoor activities such as hiking and animal surveying.
I absolutely adore what I do and I'm so excited to meet and teach your learner! Thanks for stopping by and remember... never stop learning!
For specific scheduling requests/ class times, please send me a message!
