Program Details

Format

1. Introduction: Program begins with introduction of presenter and animal we are reading about.
2. Welcome song: simple group song is taught and shared with students.
3. Story: Story is read to group by presenter.
4. Animal/Habitat information: Grade-level appropriate information about the animal, the habitat they live in, and other interesting facts about the animal and their care is shared with students. Camera spends a lot of time on the actual animal(s) at this point to allow lots of observation. When possible, this portion has some interactive elements (can you move like this? Show us with your body how you would eat this food...)
5. Questions: If time allows, we open the program up for questions from the students.
6. Goodbye: We end with a good-bye version of the welcome song.
