School in the Woods

Brayden had a great 4th Grade experience this last year. He was able to attend a school that was located in the forest and they had most of their class time everyday outside. He learned about many different types of trees, birds, insects, clouds, stars, gardening, and many other great outdoor things. During recess they would build wiki-ups (shelters made out of branches from the ponderosa pine trees). His spring field project was abiotic pond study. He was able to take samples from the pond at the school and test the water. He loves nature and even asked for field guides, bird houses, and binoculars for his birthday.
