School Program Info
Reptile Wrangler – School proposal:
In house school trip for live reptile display
Reptile Wrangler, Ken Panse, has developed a
program specifically designed for schools that accommodates the
varying schedules to allow for class rotation through a designated
area by independent classrooms or grades.
Ken’s popular reptile programs have been previously retained as a
“reward- privilege” for students attaining specific goals by their
school administrators such as “reading 5 books club” or the science
club, or after school program. Having recognized a need to stimulate
all students to learn., we have opened our menagerie of live, local
and exotic animals to a more conventional set-up, permitting smaller
groups of students (and available parents) to experience the
critters in an enclosed environment, such as a classroom or media
center. This environment allows for a customized agenda that will
bolster specific learning objectives in Biology, Geography,
Environmental Sciences, and Language arts.
We can customize the animal selection for specific criteria such as
rain-forest/jungle, temperate, or desert. The selections could
include lizards, turtle/tortoises, snakes, toads/frogs and large
bugs. They are housed in clear containers when not being handled by
Ken.
Students file by the display area that consists of a 4’ x 6’
colorful physical map of the U.S. or the World and a row or two of
featured animals. They would see many clear containers with a
critter in each one, or larger plastic storage totes with bamboo
screens. Then they can sit for the next part of the “in house field
trip” to cover the designated material, or to observe Mr. Ken
remove, hold, and discuss an ambassador reptile/amphibian from each
group displayed.
The duration of each group’s participation can be in 25-minute
intervals with 5 minutes for recess. Ken often performs for groups
aged 4-6 for 30 minutes and 45-60 minutes for older students. Your
independent schedules can set the time durations.
The cost of the in house field trip begins at $200 for the first
hour. Additional time can be purchased at a rate of $75/half hour,
or $125/ hour.
Thus a 3-hour display would cost $450.00, allowing for six 25 minute
shows.
No travel fees are assessed for the extended Metro Atlanta area.
The school saves money by avoiding bussing and fuel costs while
experiencing a top notch, fully insured, educational performance on
site.
