My Project

Life skills incorporated with ELA and Math!

We will be learning to measure and cook a healthy meal, grow and learn about vegetables and nutrition, including a caterpillar house to watch as they grow into beautiful butterflies!

And don’t forget about music!

Stations will be set up for the kids and we will learn about nature, mindfulness and daily practical skills with our academic standards to take with us through our life journey!

Thank you very much for helping to make a great summer for learning!
