Wild About Science

Teachers are invited to register their 3-5 grade classes for the Wild About Science event at the Pineywoods Native Plant Center on October 29 and 30. This annual youth educational program is a collaboration of the SFA Gardens, Department of Education Studies in the James I. Perkins College of Education, Humanities & Social Sciences and the Texas Forestry Association. SFA education majors will host three 40-minute, nature-based, TEKS-aligned educational activities in which young students explore their natural environment. Teachers can choose to attend the 9 to 11 am session or the 11:30 am to 1:30 pm session on either day. For more information, contact Kay Jenkins, SFA Gardens environmental education programs coordinator, at (936) 468-1832 or kay.jenkins@sfasu.edu. Teachers can register their classes by visiting gosfa.com/gardens-was. The cost is $5 per student.
