Distance Learning at ENC – preschool to 6th grade
07.22.20
With children home from school, the Environmental Nature Center, a 5-acre outdoor classroom that provides quality education through hands-on experience with nature has shifted to provide learning opportunities from afar. The ENC’s Distance Learning programs bring the field trip to YOU.
Children can take a virtual hike with an ENC Naturalist as they present a program LIVE with easily accessible technology. Students have the ability to ask and answer questions about what they observe in real-time. The ENC presents Distance Learning programs to preschool – 6th-grade classes throughout the school year.
The curricula for each program supports the Next Generation Science Standards for each grade level. Their unique grade-specific programs enable students to participate year after year to build on previous learning. Students develop a coherent and scientifically-based view of the world around them as they build and deepen their knowledge. These core ideas build on each other, and on what they’re learning in their classrooms. They’re currently scheduling Distance Learning programs for the 2020-21 school year at the Environmental Nature Center.
