One of Jackson’s goals for his Kindergarten year was to complete the Junior Ranger Program in the Great Smoky Mountains. We completed eleven activities in a workbook, picked up litter, watched a video, went on a guided trail walk, and visited the museum to write three facts he had learned.
For the final portion he had to interview a real Park Ranger, answer questions about the process, raise his hand and recite the Junior Ranger Pledge for the Park Ranger. I was a proud mother watching her shy little man speak so confident and clear in spite of the noise and commotion being made by the many onlookers.
Happy to be showing off his new official badge and certificate outside the National Park Sugarlands Visitor Center.
One sister was very patient for this long process, one not so much…I won’t point fingers.
