In the late fall, the Junior Kindergarten
class “carved out” an area in the trees next to Valley’s Giving Garden. We now
call this area our “Forest School”. We love to hike out to visit our Forest
School to spend time observing and interacting with nature.
Now that the Forest School is snow
covered, the children love to look for evidence of animal visitation. They
eagerly look for tracks and droppings in the snow. This excitement made us
wonder what else we could do to attract wildlife into our space. Aha, we would
make bird feeders!
On January 28th, our JK students and parent volunteers made a variety of bird feeders. As well, many families made feeders at home using recycled materials. Working together, we made over 70 bird feeders! Wow, that is amazing!
We now look forward to observing the birds in our Forest School. Great job!
