Beautiful Stuff

When children explore their natural world, ask questions and use their imagination, they are engaging in meaningful learning. I am encouraging students to express their creativity as they discover, collect, arrange, experiment, and design with found and recyclable “stuff.” Please allow your child to bring in items found in nature (pinecones, leaves, snails, worms, ect.) and donate recycled materials from home.
