讓我們一起來了解一下動物吧！ （彈性）

This is a Flex Class. Flex classes have no live class meetings.

In this 8 week class students will learn about 8 different types of animals and will also get to meet my animals.  I personally own every type of animal that we will discuss in class, so they will meet that animal on the corresponding week.   Class will be taught using written information, photos and videos.    Students will interact with each other by answering various questions, and sharing their art projects with each other. They will also work together as needed to complete their worksheets.   Lessons will be posted everyday throughout the week, with the worksheet being posted on Fridays.  The art projects will vary as to what day it will be posted, as it will be posted on the day it best fits with the lesson topic.

We will also talk about some of my animals rescue stories.   This can be a little sad but does have a happy ending.    One example of a rescue story that they may hear in class, is about an animal being abandoned when someone moved.   But the happy ending is that she's doing great now and is living a happy healthy life with us!
