Calling all animal lovers and protectors! 

In this ongoing class students will learn all about different animals through interactive materials that are guided by the instructor.  Students will be delve into video, handouts, creative options and multimedia presentations to explore a different animal each week.

Each class, students will have comprehensive knowledge about a particular animal and will be able to express the need and ability to help conserve these amazing creatures. 

With the knowledge gained, students will place their animal into an appropriate environment as we create an ongoing virtual animal sanctuary. Our animal sanctuary will be done with drawing material - paper, pens, pencil crayons and each week we will expand our drawing. Learners will need to remember what habitat best suits the animal, what safety measures we need in place, what the animal eats and what we can do to enrich the lives of the animal. For students just joining an ongoing class, they can start their animal sanctuary with the current animal we will be learning about. 

In addition, we will draw each animal and learners will be encouraged to share their art work!

Once we have a group of zoologists (learners!), we will decide on what animal we will learn about the next class.

Here are examples of individual animal classes that are featured in this curriculum:

Wolves Alive!
Students will learn all about wolves through interactive materials that are guided by the instructor. 

Students will be delve into video, handouts, creative options and multimedia presentations that are all guided by the teacher.

At completion, students will have comprehensive knowledge about wolves and will be able to express the need and ability to help conserve this amazing creature.

At the end of our class students will learn to draw a wolf step-by-step!

During some instruction days, students will be able to see a wolf-dog or wolf-dog pack live with the instructor. This is not guaranteed, however, as the wolf-dog(s) are being rehabilitated and adjusting to a new environment and we must respect them. 

Included with the class are three hand-outs:

 - National Geographic Wolf Family Activity Guide
- Ten Amazing Wolf Facts & Coloring Sheet
- Animal Prints Guide

At the end of class all students will form a wolf pack and a roleplaying adventure begins! Students take what they learned in class and together, as a pack, they try to survive through fall and winter!

The first student in class becomes the Pack Leader, so get in early!

Wolf Fact: One wolf can eat the equivalent of 60 Big Macs in a single meal!
