Beyond the Walls: Beyond the Walls is a nature awareness education program lead by Amy Beam. Its mission is to help children develop a sense of comfort in the outdoor environment in a manner that inspires awe and wonder, curiosity and exploration. Every Wednesday, the children go outside to explore.They have the opportunity to learn the names of local plants and animals, to experience weather and the cycle of the seasons, to hike and explore the surrounding wooded area, and to use their imaginations to create their own outdoor space in the woods.
Cooking: The afternoon classes have the opportunity to explore cooking with Ms. Cinthya using their practical life skills and exercising their sense of taste and texture children learn to prepare a variety of tasty treats for their classmates. In the process they learn many things about food.
Spanish: Once a week Mrs. Cinthya also provides Spanish instruction to the afternoon classes. The children learn basic Spanish vocabulary and phrases as well as songs and stories.
