National Parks Project

In Literacy, we read about how certain species of animals are being reintroduced to our National Parks.  To learn more about our amazing natural treasures throughout our country, we worked on a long-term at-home project about the National Parks.  Each student picked a different National Park to research and study. 

For their National Park Project, each student designed and produced a guidebook to their national park.  The guidebook should have included: the name of the park, location, when it was formed, an overall description of the park, as well as 5 illustrated highlights of things to see in the park.

Students also had to create a colorful, eye catching bumper sticker from their National Park.

Also, students either brought in or created souvenirs or mementos that they might have found at their National Parks.

Students each presented their projects in class and we will have them on display at Project Night on May 20.
