electricity literally lights up our world!

Creepy Crawly Animal  adventures

Teacher:  Faith Bruck
AGES:  6-10
PERIOD 3 (11-11:55AM)
This class is not for the faint of heart! We will learn about those animals that make your skin crawl. Do spiders make you scream? Do insects make you squirm? Does a reptile make you run away? Come learn how these God-created creatures are spectacularly made for a specific purpose. Without honeybees, we would not have colorful flowers or fruit! Without spiders, the mosquitoes would eat us alive! Reptiles remind us of when dinosaurs roamed the earth. This is an animal class you do not want to miss! By the end, you'll be ready to embrace every creepy crawly you see!  ​
