Curriculum
Our programming works with our local habitats, community, and seasons as a way to connect the students to their learning. Finding relationships between the months, the equinoxes, and math would be one example. Counting the tadpoles that have shown up in the pond, learning the life cycle of the frog through science and reading, and reinforcing basic phonics through vocabulary like frog, egg, jump, etc

Project WET
-
Science-based. Content experts review the information, and educators and students field test the materials.
-
Interactive. Engaging students through questioning and other inquiry-based strategies, educators involve students in hands-on lessons and encourage them to take responsibility for their own learning by:
-
seeking answers to real-world problems
-
playing games to explore scientific concepts
-
reflecting, debating and sharing by creating songs, stories and dramas
-
-
Multisensory. Full-body activities engage the senses, which research shows enhances learning.
