It might also be possible to have the manager come to the school for a visit. Regional parks, wildlife sanctuaries, wilderness areas, and game ranches are other possible sites. Many of these facilities conduct tours. The information provided on these tours is usually adjusted to the level of the students, but check this beforehand. Such information, or information available from other sources such as the Wildlife Branch of Saskatchewan Parks and Renewable Resources, can be used to create follow-up activities.
Extra supervision is essential for such trips.
You may be able to collect enough information from a visit and from inquiries, to have the resources for some sorting and classifying activities with the students. Ask the farmer to describe which animals are on the farm, and what care each needs. The farmer could also explain why each type of animal is kept on the farm. To produce such a report, the student must summarize information, decide how best to present that information, and look for resources to help in the presentation. Read stories to the children about animals in their natural habitats.
