Inspired exploration! The Oak class was suddenly inspired while playing outdoors. By diverging water to create a river system, they revisited a topic touched on in their Peru theme!

This month we launched a new enrichment program called “Creator’s Laboratory” which will focus on the intersection between creativity and science. For the first month we explored different ways of taking advantage of random results to be creative.

At the farm! To end their study of animals the Sprout class explored many centers with a primary focus on caring for farm animals.
