Clearwater Classroom Programs In Your School! Clearwater is proud to offer high quality, high energy Hudson River programs at your school. Our Clearwater educators are lively, talented and knowledgeable presenters. These offerings are a great complement to your students’ classroom study of the Hudson or their Clearwater experience. Many activities can be adapted to include specific topics you’re covering with your students right now! All programs reflect the NYS Learning Standards. 1. Discover the Hudson! (K-12) This 45 minute presentation introduces students to the Hudson River—its history, its features and its uses over time. A wonderful classroom experience to lay down Hudson foundations. (This presentation can also be used as a pre-trip experience before a sail on the sloop Clearwater.) $125 for one class - $50 each additional class. 2. Water Pollution Clean Up Activity (grades 3-12) A hands-on activity where students come face to face with the realities of water pollution—where it comes from, where it goes and what it leaves behind—and try to clean up “polluted” water. $175 for one class - $50 each additional class 3. Pay or Pollute Watershed Challenge (grades 5-12) A decision making activity where students assume the identities of stakeholders in Hudson River regions and participate in the process of community influence on environmental issues. $175 for one class - $50 each additional class 4. Hudson River Extravaganza—the field trip that comes to your school! (grades K-12) Two or more Clearwater educators come to your class with live fish and macroinvertebrates and present learning stations for the students to rotate through to learn more about these aquatic creatures. In addition, there will be a short assembly to introduce the Hudson River and a closing activity to wrap it all up. $225 for one class - $50 each additional class 5. Songwriting Workshop (grades 1-12) This workshop includes a short introductory assembly followed by a songwriting adventure with individual classes where they write song parodies about the Hudson. The day ends with an assembly where the students perform their newly created songs for each other. $550 for one to three classes - $50 for each additional class 6. Environmental Assembly (grades K-6) This assembly features songs, stories and movement opportunities revolving around the Hudson and the interdependence of all parts of our natural world. $350 for one assembly, no class limit Call us for other special “Hudson River Heritage” assembly programs on a variety of topics, including the development of transportation, history, and culture, featuring professional hudson valley performers.
