This hands-on experience is enhanced by lessons and books on nature, helping students connect with the natural world in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\n When the materials were first introduced, the excitement in the room was palpable- students couldn't wait to dive in and start exploring. As we continue this project throughout the spring, we will add even more activities to further ignite their curiosity and deepen their connection to nature.
