Do you want to learn more about many of the national parks that are in the United States of America?  I have been to many of these national parks listed and can't wait to teach you all about them!  Each week we will explore a different national park.  Since this class meets in an ongoing format you did not have to attend "National Parks Tour: Round 1" or "National Parks Tour: Round 2" to enjoy this class :)!

*Extension activities will be provided for each learner at the beginning of every class.  This will help to enhance each learner's knowledge of the park/s that they learn about.

Classes will be taught through discussion and using pictures.  I have extensively researched each of these parks.  Many pictures and facts shared with learners are my own and from my own knowledge as well as from the National Park Service.  I have visited many of these parks which help to enhance the discussion of each of these parks.  We will discuss the geology, geography, wildlife, history and fun facts about each of these listed parks.  

Students will be given ample time to ask questions and express their thoughts throughout the lesson.  At the end of each lesson learners will be given a few fun "check for understanding" questions to help them with retaining information about what was taught during the lesson.  Learners will also be given the opportunity to share what they learned and liked about the national park discussed.

Students only need an interest in nature, wildlife and/or history to enjoy this class. No homework is required for this class but activities will be provided at the end of class that learners are encouraged to do to help enhance their learning.

The national parks/national monument that will be taught in this class are:  Shenandoah, Mount Rainier, Great Basin, Capitol Reef, Denali, Great Sand Dunes, Glacier, Zion and Big Bend.  *Please look below for the exact dates of when each national park will be taught.

Are you interested in a park not on the list?  Check out my "National Parks Tour Round 1 or Round 2" classes and see if your favorite national park will be taught in those classes :).

* This class will sometimes go up to 5 min. over the scheduled time depending upon learner discussion and questions.  Class time may be adjusted for classes with a smaller number of students.

*Sibling discount available upon request.
