Please remember to send your child with a coat especially for the morning classes as we go outside starting at 8:30. Be sure your child wears athletic shoes, as the creek can be slippery!
Smelling, feeling, seeing, and hearing experiences made our "senses" hike a multi-sensory lesson, even passing the decomposing pumpkins in our compost bin was a sensory experience as we watch and smell them change from Jack-o-lanterns into soil. We continue our outdoor search for the cycles that we can see in the gardens and those we cannot see, like days of the week, months of the year, etc.
Pre-k students also will be making bird treats to hang in our Holiday Treat Tree by the creek entrance. Hanging the treats in the tree is as much fun as making them for our wild bird friends!
