동물 분류 소개 - 살아있는 동물과 함께!

Hello! My name is Rachael (or the Doodlebugs Lady!) I am a wildlife biologist, former zookeeper, actor, life-long learner, and a mom. I have been a wildlife educator for over 15 years, and have been giving virtual presentations with my company Doodlebugs Animal Adventures for schools and libraries. I am excited to now bring these programs to Outschool!

Scientists are discovering new animals every single day! In this program, learners will meet a variety of exciting animals from different habitats. We will explore topics like animal adaptations, animal homes, and how scientists CLASSIFY animals. Throughout the program we will compare the animals we meet, discuss what animals they remind us of, and where we think they fit within taxonomy. The goal of this class is to introduce learners to the fact that taxonomy is fluid and always changing! 
***Participation is encouraged but NOT required. I want every child to be able to enjoy THEIR learning journey in their OWN way. This program can be taken by itself or as a follow-up to any of my other animal classes (please note - there may be an overlap in some of the animals seen however the lesson focus and content will differ). 

I believe  "A curious mind can change the world" so my goal is to engage your learner and nurture their innate curiosity of the world around them. Every one of my programs promotes empathy and connection to the natural world and teaches that we can ALL be ANIMAL SUPER HEROES! I hope to see your learner soon; and remember...STAY CURIOUS!
