Forest Day at Far View Ranch in February! Last week Jess's 3rd/4th grade Starflowers installed bird boxes, hiked a couple miles, climbed the famous Lone Tree, learned about control burn piles, and played in the beautiful creek! The joy of learning was palpable! Huge thanks to Alex Palmerlee of Far View Ranch!

Last Wednesday, Morgan's 3rd/4th grade Poppies had their first Forest Day at Horseshoe Lake! They created Oak Folk Villages. There was a whole excavation team to mine for stones, and a well organized bark gathering crew. There were engineers, builders, foreign relations (those who stole resources from other smaller villages and those who stole them back), two villages that became one larger village in order to pool resources, a horse stable, cemetery, living and sleeping quarters, and a main kitchen making village soup for everyone. All student-driven. It was spectacular the creativity and collaboration these kids showed. School in nature at its best 💚🍃🌳🪨🐇🐦⬛.

Hot days ahead! Due to the extreme heat we are experiencing, over the course of this week, we will be eating lunch and having lunch recess indoors. All after school activities will also be held indoors. This will continue for the remainder of the week, or until it cools down. Morning recess will still be held outside. Remind your kids to keep hydrated.

We are continuing with our Wednesday weekly PCR testing. If you have not yet signed up your child, please do so through the portal or pick up a hard copy and fill it out in the office.

5th Grade "Quick Write"
As I walk in the Ukrainian meadows with my dog Posey we see beautiful blue and yellow flowers dancing in the wind, for this is Ukraine. All of the Ukrainian people were freed, it was a joyous time. Everyone crowded around me and Posey, and we sat down and listened to peace. The birds sang for peace, the crikets chirped for peace, and the chipmunks skweaked for peace. After, everyone in the meadows ran down to their city and danced, for the Russians were gone, the war was gone, the war was dead.
