This week is National Park Week! The hashtag is #NationalParkWeek. America has so many beautiful parks to visit!
Atteen is sharing two wonderful national parks today!
North Cascade National Park
Here is Atteen's trip to North Cascade! North Cascade National Park was established in 1968 and is found in the state of Washington. It is 684,000 acres large and has tall mountains, beautiful valleys, and gorgeous lakes. Tourists might see black bears, black-tailed deer, mountain lions, bobcats, marmots, and birds. This national park has more glaciers than anywhere else in the lower 48 states. It has approximately 300 glaciers. The glacial melt makes the lake look that unusual blue color. It is especially pretty on sunny days.

Olympic National Park
Atteen and her family also visited Olympic National Park while they were in the state of Washington. This nearly million-acre national park has four regions: the coastline along the Pacific Ocean, a temperate rainforest, an alpine (or mountain) area, and drier forest areas. The giant Sitka fir trees can be viewed along the hiking trails. They can grow to be 300 feet tall!
Tourists might see Roosevelt elk, snowshoe hares, pocket gophers, and hundreds of different types of birds.

ReplyDeleteI am classroom teacher from the other side of the world (nearly) in New Zealand. Although I have not been to the United States for some time I really want to visit after seeing some of the amazing photos that you posted and some of the national park information that you presented in this post. It sounds amazing - trees that are over three hundred feet tall sounds like they must be incredibly giant! Wow!

Dear Mr. Webb,
DeleteMrs. Yollis is so sorry that she did not get to see you in New Zealand. We are too! Maybe you can come here and we can see you!
Are there any National parks in New Zealand?

Dessi and Charlotte
Dear Mr. Webb,
DeleteI have been to many national parks. How many national parks have you been to?
What season is it in New Zealand? It is spring here and the temperature is in the 80s-90s. It is so hot!
Best,
Grace
Dear Mr. Webb,
DeleteThank you so much for taking the time to respond! Mrs. Yollis was so sad that she didn't get to meet you in New Zealand. :-(
I wrote about Joshua Tree National Park. It is in California near Palm Springs. Some people think the Joshua tree is ugly, but we think that it is beautiful.
Please check out my post and tell me what is you opinion about the Joshua tree!
Joshua Tree National Park
Mrs. Yollis' Class, This is an amazing blog post. I have not been to the Cascades...YET! But now I really want to go. My favorite park so far has been the Rocky Mountain National Park. So many beautiful mountains and views to see....and the hikes are full of wonderful streams and waterfalls. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

Dear Mrs.Samuelson,
DeleteI love the Global Math Task Tech Challenge! I have had so much fun doing your math challenges.
How many National parks have you been to? I have been to nine. Also how many National parks have your students been to? What grade do you teach? I'm in third grade.
Best,
Grace
So glad to hear you are enjoying the Global Math Task Tech Challenge! My third graders LOVE to see how you solve the tasks. I've been to more than 10 National Parks. Some of my students have been to 3.
DeleteDear Mrs. Samuelson,
ReplyDeleteI ♥ the Global Math Task Tech Challenge! The challenges are really fun. I solve them almost every week. I have to switch the digits around a lot.
The blog post with photos of Joshua Tree National Park were mine. Some people think the Joshua tree is ugly, but I think that it is beautiful.
Are there any national parks in Tennessee that you have visited? Do you think the Joshua tree is ugly?

So happy to hear you enjoy the Global Math Task Tech Challenge. My students do as well. In my opinion, the Joshua Tree is a beautiful park of nature. It reminds me of the Truffula Trees in a book. There are 8 National Parks in Tennessee. Did you know there is a website that you can search the National Parks by state? https://www.nationalparks.org/explore/parks?state=1661
DeleteDear Mrs. Samuelson,
ReplyDeleteI ♥ your Global Math Task Tech Challenge! My class and I really appreciate your program.
Guess what? Tomorrow is my 9th birthday!

Dear Mrs. Samuelson,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Global Math Challenge. My class and I think it was very kind for you to use your time for us and others. This is how I know you are a kind person.

Dear Atteen,
ReplyDeleteYour trip to Olympic National Park looks so cool! I haven't been there YET!
How high is the fee to enter the park?
Are there any dangerous animals at Olympic National Park?
Sincerely,
Ronald♥
Wow! I learned a lot about your two national parks! I am located on the other coast, near Assateague National Seashore. We have very different weather, but I would really like to explore your parks. I didn’t know any of the national parks had that many glaciers; I might need to visit.
