Homeschool Class: Animals and Their Habitats

“Homeschool Classes” are educational field trip style lessons, only open to homeschool families. Open posting to view program description.

Food, water, shelter, space - that's what makes a good habitat! Join us as we explore all about local animals and their habitats. We'll get outside and practice looking closely for signs of animals. We'll consider what animals need to make a good home. Then, we'll practice building a habitat of our very own!
