냉혈한 캠프: 살아있는 파충류, 양서류, 독거미를 만나보세요! (4~8세)

This class is a fun social  camp about Reptiles, Amphibians and Tarantulas. Each day, I will have different LIVE animals for students to see up close! Students will learn fun facts about each animal in addition to its natural habitat, characteristics, behaviors and it’s specific needs and proper care when keeping it as a pet. 
Students will be encouraged to bring their own pets to class (if they have any), and any artwork, toys or other materials relevant to herpetology or insects. This is a social, learner-led environment, so open discussion between students will be highly encouraged. We will discuss the fun and the amount of work that goes into keeping herps and invertebrates as pets.
