National Association of Interpretation-certified interpreter Siobhan Solkowski-Peacy has produced the curriculum and schedule to virtually teach elementary students about the natural world within Midewin Tall Grass Prairie. Classes will cover everything from how to tell the difference between a bison and a buffalo to skills and tools that are necessary to become a “prairie detective.” Students can pick and choose their favorite subject; it isn't necessary to participate in all classes.
