Albert Gallatin believed in the value of education. When he felt there were not adequate educational opportunities available in New York City, he helped establish the New York University. The National Park Service also believes in the value of education. Through our Parks as Classrooms programs we strive to help teachers bring learning to life for their students.
The staff at Friendship Hill NHS has developed teaching aids for classroom teachers and home schoolers. These packages include pre-visit and post-visit activities designed to help children get the most out of visiting this National Park. These packages were prepared in cooperation with area educational professionals and are designed to meet the curriculum requirements for Pennsylvania.
None of material in the teacher's packages is copyrighted. Teachers are encouraged to reproduce the necessary sheets for students.
