Through live animal meet & greets, activities and games, students will explore the natural world with Roger Williams Park Zoo.  Our afterschool programs are planned based on the interests of the students in the group. The first day is used to introduce important ideas and expectations and get to know the students. We will create the expectations together. We will also ask the students what they would like to learn about and create a driving question board with their ideas. This will help us create lesson plans that they will be interested in for the following weeks. In addition, the students will learn how to make the animals feel safe and comfortable in their space by meeting an animal ambassador. Subsequent weeks will be planned based on the students’ interests. Activities might include things like driving whole group activity, game or circle time, Outdoor activity if an appropriate space is available, stations (stations are a time when the group can choose their own activities and use the time how they would like. These may include, but not limited to building activities, crafts, biofact station, inquiry station, coloring/ puzzles, etc. In addition, the students will meet an animal each week.
