Nature Study: THURSDAY, 10AM - 12PM
Explore the farm through contextual learning! This fall we will study communication systems that exist in nature! We begin with plants & mycelium and end with local animals. Guided by inquiry based questions and our beautiful sense of wonder, we will observe, study, build, test, and calculate in nature. We will engage in hands-on studies of wild ecosystems as well as the cultivated ecosystems on the farm. We will study plant life-cycles, forage, and process edible plants.
Book Club: THURSDAY, 1 PM - 3PM
This course will further develop a love of reading, strengthen critical engagement with literature, practice speaking and writing analytically about literature with their peers. Learners will choose their own books (and their own pace) to dive deeper into literary analysis and have more in-depth discussions. Learners will come together to talk about themes, symbols, motifs, character development, conflict, literary devices, cultural relevance, and other elements at work in each book. Students will also practice analytic writing and receive feedback from others.
