Park Rangers and National Park learning!

We had so much fun learning about the how to be a park ranger. We loved having the Park Ranger from Saugus Iron works visit and teach us about her job. Take a peek at all our learning.
















Yellowstone National Park

Grade 2 - Life Science Standards

LS2. Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics 2-LS2-3(MA). Develop and use models to compare how plants and animals depend on their surroundings and other living things to meet their needs in the places they live. Clarification Statement: • Animals need food, water, air, shelter, and favorable temperature; plants need sufficient light, water, minerals, favorable temperature, and animals or other mechanisms to disperse seeds. [2-LS2-1 is included in other standards, including K-LS1-1 and 2-LS2-3(MA). 2-LS2-2 from NGSS is not included.] LS4. Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity 2-LS4-1. Use texts, media, or local environments to observe and compare (a) different kinds of living things in an area, and (b) differences in the kinds of living things living in different types of areas. Clarification Statements: • Examples of areas to compare can include temperate forest, desert, tropical rain forest, grassland, arctic, and aquatic. • Specific animal and plant names in specific areas are not expected.


I'll leave you with this joke:
What do the wolves of Yellowstone call antelope?
Fast Food!
