LEAF's Forester Activities for the K-8 Classroom (pdf)

So you’ve been asked by a teacher to be a guest in a classroom. With an already taxed workload, you probably don’t have the time to prepare a presentation from scratch. This resource can help. With a minimum amount of preparation, you can be ready to give an age-appropriate, interactive, hands-on classroom program for any grade between K and 8.

Program Highlights:

  • Two interactive activity stations led by you and the classroom teacher allow the students to dig in to the material in smaller groups.
  • A concluding activity offers a chance for review and closure.
  • The user-friendly leader’s sheets make it easy to prepare for and lead each activity.
  • The online PDF format makes the program materials accessible to everyone.
  • A confirmation letter helps you communicate effectively with the classroom teacher.
  • Information in the confirmation letter links activities in the programs to Wisconsin Model Academic Standards.
  • Each program enriches existing lessons from LEAF’s Wisconsin K-12 Forestry Lesson Guides.
