Virtual programs are 45min to 1 hour. Teachers will receive either a document of pre/post activities or a physical kit with objects for students to explore during the program. A Riveredge educator will guide students through an exploration of their topic using experiments, demonstrations, stories/guided imagery, videos, and occasional meetings with live animals. For a portion of the time, students may be muted but will be called on to answer questions or share. If the program is hosted by a classroom, the teacher may need to periodically unmute to allow students to come up and answer.

For classrooms: A connection from your computer to a projector or smartboard so that the class can view the screen.

For virtual students: You will need to send the link to students so they can join the virtual meeting.

Learning kits are available to schools within a 25 mile radius of Riveredge. They may include packets with learning objects/natural items for each student, sheets for them to record their outdoor discoveries, or other natural items to explore together as a class. An instruction sheet will also be included for teachers on how to use the kits.

Still have questions? We'd love to answer them!
