For the Love of Nature Based Learning


Soren adding sticks to the forts they are making on the school grounds.

I will let yesterday's e-mail from Soren's teacher speak for itself to why we love Dodge Nature Preschool.

Today we were able to spend the whole day outside! We did some exploring in the fields. We were finding various items, some of which we placed in a bag to recycle back at the school! We found some tires on the ground close to the farm that were great to try to walk on. We were interested in checking out our community garden. We are looking forward to planting in the garden this year. Our class will be focusing on potatoes and wheat at the community garden! Some children have already begun the planting process with lettuce, herbs, and sunflowers in our classroom!

We decided that since we were having apples for snack that we should enjoy our snack under the apple trees near the garden. Our snack was apples and crackers. After snack we continued back to the school and found a large puddle to explore with some sticks on our way.

We look forward to continuing to explore the spring setting around us!
