Fostering a connection between my students and the unique region they call home has been a focus of my 7th grade life science curriculum. I do this by creating a classroom where students discover, explore and understand the relationship they have with their environment. Students collaborate to explore issues and propose solutions. Nearly every aspect of our curriculum is tied to the Adirondacks. Our school is a small and rural. Students and their families have been in the region for generations. They live, work and play in the Adirondacks. Hunting and fishing is how they put food on the table. Logging is how bills are paid. The Adirondack park is the largest state park in the contiguous United States, and sheer size makes its role as a protected land unfathomable to many of my students. It is necessary for them to understand the significance of the region and their role as ambassadors for its future protection.
