Sunday Funday – Signs of Winter
This year, Leslie Gale, Outdoor Education Specialist at Bartram’s Garden, has agreed to help us organize a series of “Sunday Fundays” at Ormiston. During these get-togethers, Leslie will lead groups of children on a walking tour down the Boxer Trail. Then Claire will prepare a coordinating lesson, with a related children’s book. We have tentative plans to do FOUR sessions during the year, one per season.
The first session will be Sunday Feb 18 with rain date of Feb 25, from 10am – 1 pm. The session will focus on signs of winter in the garden. The book will be “Snowflake Bentley” about a scientist who figured out how to photograph snowflakes. We’ll look at some of his snowflake photographs and then we will learn how to cut SIX-POINTED snowflakes. Next session will take place in Spring, Summer and Fall, dates to be decided.
Please email back to tell us if you plan to attend, so we have enough snacks and materials.
