Flat Ranger Update

Our class Flat Rangers are continuing their journeys to 60 National Parks. My students were so excited to receive their mail from exotic destinations like Hawaii Volcanoes NP and Alaska's Denali NP.

The information on the adaptations of animals and plants in Death Valley NP is perfect for the life science unit we are studying. Great Smokey Mountains NP posters came in just as we studied transpiration and condensation. Hot Springs NP and Yellowstone NP have geothermal features we had studied. It is all so wonderful!

Flat Rangers Ready to Go!

Today I got my Flat Rangers into the capable hands of Karen Weaver, Park Ranger at Palo Alto Battlefield NHP. My Science students colored them before Christmas Break, and now, the Flat Rangers are on their way to visit 60 National Parks!

Our Flat Rangers will visit parks with landforms and biomes that match our curriculum. As each Flat Ranger reaches a park, its Passport will be stamped, a packet of information about the park will be sent to my class, and Flat Ranger will be forwarded to the next park on its itinerary.

It's a great program. I can't wait for the students to start receiving their mail!
