Program Highlights

CONNECTION INSPECTION & EARTHWALK

If there are two classes they will be split up and going on two separate walks. The activity will take about 60 mins. One group will do the Connection Inspection while the other will do the Earthwalk. It is important that the teachers are there for the experiences to help with any behavioral issues and to participate in the learning experience so that any lesson extensions can be designed for back at school.

ACTIVITY CENTERS

Activity centers are led by the adult volunteers (parents, grandparents, school staff, etc.) who come on the field trip, not Cooper staff. Activity Centers need to be selected prior to your visit and communicated to the Cooper Center’s Staff so we can prepare your supplies. This will also give the adult volunteer teaching the Centers the time to prepare with a lesson plan. Cooper Staff are happy to help run of the Activity Centers and may be able to have community partners run another center as well.
