I have a BA in Elementary Education and my credentials are uploaded to Outschool. I taught classroom science, art and language arts to both preschool and elementary aged students for almost twenty years before coming to the Outschool online platform. As a child, I first developed a strong love of nature and animals through books and hands-on experiences. As a teacher, I'm constantly reading, researching and learning everything I can about wild animal conservation and the natural world.

Pencils for writing/drawing or crayons/markers can be used for completing labeling, matching, writing, drawing or coloring activities. 3. Notebook: If you are not printing the activity sheets, you will probably want to have a notebook for writing, taking notes, labeling or drawing activities.
NO scary or violent content here, just scientific facts presented in a positive way to encourage learning and scientific discovery. Video lessons were created and recorded by me, made available to be viewed through a link via YouTube. The video is an embedded link and so the lesson displays on the classroom page. No account is necessary to access the lesson and you do not have to go to YouTube. Optional Assessment Quiz on Kahoot: A link to a quiz I created using Kahoot will be shared as part of the available classroom materials. This is optional and with parental permission only. Some learners might need help with reading and answering. Private link, no account necessary.
