EcoLand 2026/2027 Zooms

Zooming With Terry & Friends

Calling all Head Start, PK, ECSE, Life Skills, Kinder, and 1st-grade teachers! The EcoLand team is pumped to bring live, remote animal encounters right to your classroom! And the best part? It's totally FREE for Academic Content Coop members and Region 7 Head Start grant participants!

This is a paw-some chance for your little explorers to practice Zoom skills, ask curious questions, and get up close (virtually!) with some adorable animal friends! 🎉

How Do I Sign-up?

Explore below each monthly topic.
Click on the time that best accommodates your class schedule.
Sign up as would a typical Region 7 workshop.
Each teacher attending from your ISD will register to ensure they receive their CPE credit hours.
Interactions last 30-45 minutes, and multiple classes attend simultaneously.

Don't Worry! You can still schedule in-person visits for your class as well!

Space is limited so reserve your spots today! You can go ahead and sign up for all zooms throughout the year if you would like to plan ahead!
