The teachers traveled with Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, collected data in Citizen Science 2.0, explored the tidepools in Tidepool Exploration, learned how our changing climate effects our ecosystems in Climate Kids, and discovered the uses of native plants in Kumeyaay Supermarket. Registration opens for the 2018-2019 school year on August 15th, so mark your calendar teachers. Here is the link: http://cabrilloeducation.com/
The day was split into three sessions to allow teachers the opportunity to view multiple programs. During lunch, a Traveling Trunk was out on display, so teachers could see how this resource could be used in their classrooms. The trunks can be checked out for two weeks and kept in the classroom. The teachers can use the materials inside for centers or in conjunction with current lessons being taught.
Teachers also learned about a new program available for self-guided groups: The Cabrillo Adventure Guides. These guides range from ages 5-7, 8-12, and 13 & older. These guides are packed with activities to choose from and cover all aspects of the parks cultural, historical, and natural resources. These are available for anyone and are a great way to spend a summer day with your kids in the park!
The Adventure Guides are available for download at this link: http://cabrilloeducation.com/adventure-guides
So, start your adventuring today with our Adventure Guides and share with your educator friends and family the exciting programs available to them in their National Park!
