It was so much fun to spend time with a great colleague planning for the NPS's Centennial Celebration.  I am really looking forward to Thursday and the beginning of the activities for the next several weeks in conjunction with the 100th birthday.

It is hard to decide which parks to highlight and share with the students as the choices are so exciting. I am thankful for the collection of NPS brochures that I have collected over the years to share with the students. I do think that is important to highlight the diversity of the park system and the many sites that the NPS protects.  

The stories that come from the NPS are inspiring for students of all ages.  These stories and the wealth of online resources are going to be an inspiration for learning in our classroom for the upcoming year.  Because of the diversity of the park system, the cross-curricular opportunities are a teacher's dream.  In my grade, I focus on the social studies  and my teammate focuses on the science.  The diversity of the NPS offers a fantastic umbrella to focus on both subjects, not to mention art and writing opportunities.

If you have not already seen the NPS WebRangers Program online, please take the time to explore the website.  This site offers a great variety fun learning activities applicable to all ages and abilities. 

Can't wait until Thursday!!!
