Shenandoah Residents introduces first graders to the physical characteristics and life needs of plants and animals in the park. Students construct a journal and record their observations of plant parts and evidence of animals. Students also role-play different animals to gain an understanding of how they meet their life needs in the meadow. Groups can request a “Raptor Rap” live birds of prey presentation with this program.
