Green Footprint (K-2)

Walk with us as we investigate the impact we have on Earth’s natural resources.  The planet’s precious treasures were intended for our consumption, but are we consuming too much?  This eye-opening Explore-A-Tour will guide children to think carefully about the footprint they leave on our planet and help them to make a positive step for future generations.

Our Town Mystery! (K-2)

GCM’s small community, Our Town, is in chaos!  Overnight all the citizens disappeared and we would like your class to not only solve the mystery of the missing townspeople, but also fill in for the missing workers of Our Town.  This exciting program encourages children to ask questions, make and confirm predictions, compare and contrast roles in a community, and be responsible decision makers.  Please join us in bringing order back to Our Town.
