CLASSROOM PRESENTATIONS
The District’s education specialist can visit your classroom and teach about the environment. Classroom presentations are designed to meet science indicators and may also integrate social studies, mathematics and language arts. Longer presentations are hands-on and shorter ones may include a worksheet, story, craft or game. See a list of classroom presentations.
WE ARE NOT BOOKING CLASSROOM PRESENTATIONS AT THIS TIME.
