After the trip they wanted to continue to learn about the National Parks and the history of the bison in our country. One of their learning extension activities was to use their artistic skills to illustrate a page in this book.

Chester Students Show their Artistic Skills
Mrs. Stephens’ fifth grade class from Chester Community Charter School in Chester, PA recently illustrated the book “Buddy Bison Goes to the Park” written by Rob Cohen. After these students took a trip to Valley Forge National Historical Park in October, they wanted to continue to learn about national parks and the history of bison in our country. To extend their learning experience from the park to the classroom, they used their artistic skills to illustrate the pages of the book. I enjoyed reading it! What wonderful illustrations!
The students from Chester are also hard at work learning the Buddy Bison musical which they will debut in early 2012.

Students ask "George Washington" questions outside of his 18th century cabin.
