Our Teacher Materials
These are lessons, games and plans created by our teachers and volunteers and shared with you, publicly, for your child's enrichment. We also use this as a one-stop curriculum shop, to share resources with each other. Feel free to print, use and share, but make sure you give credit where it's due!
01
Nature Hunt
This is a great PNW Plant hunt. We laminate our sheets for repeat use. We bring dry erase markers to check off what we find and to write words/letters/facts on the back of our laminate sheet, to increase literacy. Half of our words are in Klallam. Use the https://klallamlanguage.org/ website to hear it!
02
Heronswood Scavenger Hunt
Our staff worked with Heronswood gardeners to create an early Spring/Late Winter hunt for K-3. For older kids, you can have them draw features of a chosen plant and label them on the back of the hunt.
Coming Soon!

Klallam Bingo Sheets
These Klallam Language Bingo sheets are a fun way to remind kids of how to say some of our favorite Klallam words. This can be adjusted with phrases for older kids!

Leaf Sorting Lesson
Learning about nature's patterns is a wonderful way to teach patterns generally, as well as mathematical and scientific terms like horizontal, vertical, diagonal, spiral, symmetry, etc.
