Learning with Nature

While we enjoy the beauty of the sunshine through the trees with the many colors of red, orange and gold, we are learning with nature.

In kindergarten, the students had a Pumpkin Story Patch. They had fun reading books and then created their favorite character or part of the story using a pumpkin.

In first grade, they are reading books, writing stories, learning math concepts, math facts and learning how to solve word problems. They have a variety of items to assist students as they build their knowledge using blocks, disks, beads and during this time of year – leaves that have fallen from the trees!

There was also a pumpkin day activity that was a bit more messy with first grade, where they had a variety of math activities related to estimation, counting, sorting, grouping and much more using the messy ‘inside’ of a pumpkin.
