Teachers and homeschoolers, are you looking for a fun way to teach environmental science and language arts to your students, but that is also educational and correlates to the Common Core Standards for English Language Arts and the Next Generation Science Standards for grades 3 – 5? Then look no further. Why not try Audubon Adventures? Audubon Adventures is an award-winning, nationally-acclaimed program that aims to interest children in exploring, learning about, and enjoying the natural world around them.
The theme of Audubon Adventures for the 2015-2016 school year is Action for Planet Earth. The Educator’s Guide, along with quizzes, puzzles, and activities for students can be accessed online. In addition, offline printed “newspapers” are available to classrooms and homeschoolers covering the following topics: At Home in a Habitat, Caretaking Our World’s Water, and Power From Our Planet. The cost of ordering these student newspapers will be funded by Rutland County Audubon if a teacher or parent would like to purchase them.
