Four Winds!

We had our first Four Winds session today! Four Winds is a nature program run by parent volunteers. We are fortunate to have two amazing moms who come in to do lessons with our class. Thank you, Priscilla and Karen. Today's topic was trees and their importance to our world. The lesson included indoor and outdoor activities. It could not have been a better day to go outdoors! 

The puppet show teaches important concepts and is always a student favorite.
Students looked at slices of tree trunks using hand lenses. So cool!
Students used their bodies to create the parts of a tree--the roots, heartwood, bark, branches, twigs,  and leaves. A great visual!
We walked through the woods behind the school to search and find information about trees.
