Sharks and Homegrown Snacks in Preschool

As Junior Kindergarten finishes up its project based study of the depths and life in the ocean, a visitor from Sharks4Kids, a non-profit organization that strives to create shark advocates through education and outreach, joined the class. Michelle used video, photos and biofacts to teach the children about these fascinating creatures of the deep. Students also learned why they are important to our ecosystem. Following her visit, the students created drawings of and talked about their favorite sharks.
In The Experiential School, food from garden to table is an integral part of the children's experience. Since September, they have been planting, tending, harvesting and tasting (as well as cooking!) As the year winds down, it has been time to cultivate the rest of our crops and this week preschoolers enjoyed home-grown celery and carrots as well as pasta mixed with pesto they made from our basil plants. Vegetables taste so much better when you grow them yourself!
