Venture Out!
Dear Educator:
We’re getting ready for another great year of programs! We strive to provide engaging, fun programs that
complement classroom curriculum.As you know, Michigan has recently adopted the Next Generation Science
Standards (NGSS). Just like you, we’re sorting out how to best achieve these. For this brochure we have added
the new Performance Expectations that we think our programs support. By no means do we think a short visit
to the nature center will address the disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting
concepts. However, we do think the programs provide a unique, hands-on, and interactive experience with
various natural phenomena. As you begin integrating NGSS into your classroom please let us know how we
might customize a program to meet your needs. For some programs you will also see correlations to social
studies grade level content expectations.
We provide pre- and post-trip materials for use in your classroom for most of our programs, which are sent
with your complete confirmation approximately one month prior to the program. We are happy to provide
a social story for any student with special needs. Our hope is that these tools make our programs more
accessible and meaningful to all students.
Budgets are tight everywhere we look, and we try hard to keep our program costs low, but recognize field trips
can still be a financial burden.Thus, I am more than happy to write a letter of support for a grant application or
talk with your parent-teacher organization. If transportation is an issue, perhaps an “On the Road” program or
a Traveling Trunk will meet your needs. Ultimately, we want to provide you with quality programs at a minimal
cost.
If you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for in this brochure, please give us a call and we can arrange a
custom program to meet your needs. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me at 989631-0830 or [email protected]. Together, we can offer outstanding science and social studiesbased programs!
Sincerely,
Jenn Kirts
School Program Coordinator
Come celebrate with us!
