Space Weekly! (5-7세)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: These classes follow a 22-week rotation, which restarts after covering the final topic. These classes are self-contained, allowing your child to join at any point during the rotation. If your child has previously enrolled in this class, please cross-check the date and class topic provided below before enrolling once more to ensure they haven't already studied a specific subject.

Furthermore, upon successful completion of all 22 weeks of this course, learners will receive a certificate of completion. Feel free to contact me to notify me when your learner has completed the entire course.

In this ongoing, open-enrollment course, students will explore a new space-related topic each week, focusing on astronomy and space exploration. This class is an excellent fit for students who are passionate about space and enjoy learning about various celestial subjects, including planets, galaxies, rocket launches, rovers, exoplanets, asteroids, and more. Each week, students will have the option to work on a related coloring sheet during the class session. While this is not mandatory, it is available for those who benefit from a hands-on activity while listening to the lesson.

I will employ slides featuring images and brief video clips to facilitate instruction. Class participation is encouraged but not obligatory, giving students the freedom to speak as much or as little as they prefer.
