Nature’s Classroom Homeschool Program

Hello, and welcome to the brand new site for the Nature’s Classroom Homeschool Program. We are extremely excited to launch this web site as the main destination for information related to this program.

As new information about the program becomes available, we will add it to this site first. Although you may already be part of our email listserv, I encourage you to subscribe to the RSS feed (at the bottom of this page). This will inform you immediately when changes are made. If you are not on our email listserv, please send me an email at eproctor@azgfd.gov and let me know that you want to be added to the Nature’s Classroom listserv.

It is our intention for this site to not only serve as a way to distribute details about upcoming events. We want it to be educational as well. Therefore, summaries of all prior events will be added as well. These will give you an idea of some of the activities we did but will also provide pictures, video clips, and other facts about the topcis covered. Each summary will be organized by main animal group (i.e., birds, mammals, etc.) and will be put into that appropriate category to the right. If an event covered more than one type of animal or covered basic ecology principles, it will be filed into the category labeled “General Wildlife“. In addition, information pertinent to the management of this site will be posted in “Site Information“.

You will also find the tabs at the right to be extremely useful. The “About” tab will provide some more detailed information about the Nature’s Classroom program, the Arizona Game and Fish Department, and Focus Wild Arizona. Under the “Events” tab you will find a calendar which will show all upcoming Nature’s Classroom activities. In addition, this is where you will find the registration form!

As you navigate around the site, I encourage you to become involved. In the future, there will be discussion boards opened for you to comment or provide feedback. You are also able to leave comments after any of these posts. This is your Nature’s Classroom community!

Thanks, Eric Proctor.
