| "Connections"
is the theme of our grades one through eight environmental education
program. The program is designed to enhance learning in many curriculum
areas and to illustrate the connections between the classroom and
the mixed grass prairie, the ponderosa pine forest, Wind Cave, and
the plants an animals that live in the Park, as well as the connections
between each of us and other organisms on our planet.
We offer the
Connections program during the months of May. After a teacher
makes
reservations for the program, the will receive an information packet.
This packet includes a description of the grade specific concept
that we will be focusing on, curriculum goals and objectives, pre-visit
classroom activities to introduce the concept, a vocabulary
list,
Park background information, and post-visit activities to reinforce
the ideas presented at the Park.
