Teachers, Home School, and Group Leaders
DEAR
EDUCATOR,
Expand the
horizons of your students outside the classroom without planning a field
trip. We have found many
teachers taking advantage of events within their community to supplement
school work. Two Lake County
Parks’ activities fit very well within this concept.
They are the WWII Tribute at Buckley Homestead and the Voyageur
Rendezvous at the Grand Kankakee Marsh.
Both are active, colorful, and jam packed with information.
Here’s how
some teachers do it.
They compile a page of questions that complement school work
about American history or social studies pertinent to an event.
They recommend the student’s family take the student to
the event.
Some instructors design the project as extra credit, some as
a good experience to enhance their learning.
Either way, it is an excellent supplement to in-class work.
The Lake
County Parks offers many activities that your students can do
independently. See them
throughout this website. There are a variety of ways outside
activities can work for you – and most importantly, for them.
Whether it
is history or nature, check out the resources in the Lake County Parks.
