Week one will create a pattern that we will follow most of the Summer. With weather, and group size changing, we will adapt as necessary, but we know these core activities and frequencies will work well for our students.
I am hearing from lots of families, and have had new kids sign up during the past couple of weeks. More and more as we go, I'm hoping to dial the roster in, so my planning can become more specific and tailored to the needs of the group. Please call and email me so I know the dates your family plans to attend.
Please keep in mind there will be differentiated groups (Ages 6-9 and 10-14). For any field study we take together, Mr. Hays and I will ensure right-sized activities and pace for the groups.
