Appletree School

Spring lifecycles and a lot of joy!

The search is on! Tadpoles, frogs, turtles and so much more to discover in our vernal ponds and woodlands.

Imagine this is your child’s morning!?
Good books. Friendly faces. Spring blooms.

Blooming!

Happy May Day!

Crocus study on a spring day!

Woodland work, play and observations.

It’s that time of year again..
We love our P***y Willow tree and what it offers:
climbing, nooks underneath the branches and catkin collections. We welcome Spring!

Sharing some Love today! ❤️

As we reflect on our weeks together we stop and think about all the different ways and places children are learning throughout their days. Our curriculum is a blend and collaboration of all the domains of learning. Our deep study of nature and the environment, math, sciences, literacy and friendship are happening alongside all of our outdoor adventures.
As you look at this story of our week we hope you can see the learning that was planned, the learning that happens organically and the learning that surprises us!

Nature studies in our woods .. so much to notice!

Keep on smiling despite the slushy weather.. adventure always awaits!

We are SNOW HAPPY!

Feeling thankful

Small moments at Appletree..
“Can you see me?” “I can see you over there.”

What might be happening on a rainy day?

We enjoyed time with a parent visitor last week, learning about and planting bulbs for spring!

Our Appletree woods: where we see children creating their own art… which encourages others to join.

Engaged actors and theater audience!

Mud Kitchen lunch is ready!

Lucky to be in close proximity to such a magical place for leaning!
