Homeschool in the Hills: Spring Fling
Hitchcock Nature Center, Pottawattamie County
Tuesday, April 3, 2018
Area homeschool students and educators are invited to join us at Hitchcock Nature Center for a series of field trips designed to focus on nature throughout the seasons at Hitchcock Nature Center.
Join us on April 3rd for "Spring Fling" and explore how nature wakes up from winter's slumber during this exciting season of change. Two sessions of this program are offered, the morning session is from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. & the afternoon session is from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
These programs are delivered in a flexible format with both guided and self guided units and is designed for elementary school students in Kindergarten through 5th Grade & participants will have the option to split between programming for K - 2nd Grad & 3rd - 5th Grade. Each program will begin with a set of hands-on learning activities to introduce learners to our topic for the day and then a field session to view nature first-hand.
We are currently offering four programs in this series, participants may choose between the morning session from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. or the afternoon session from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required for all of these events in advance as space is limited.
