Exploring Parks

We are reading about Ranger Dockett in Reading class. Today we had a special guest, Mrs. Brenda, who told us all about the National Parks she loves. She knows so much about them. We loved seeing the places she has been. We also got to explore the National Parks website for kids on the iPads.
