Some days we will vary the schedule to include cooking projects, gardening projects, and dramatic play related to stories that we are exploring.

The above schedule is for Mondays through Thursdays. On Fridays we exchange forest exploration for a more in-depth group project at the school, either involving cooking or art. We still play outside in the play yard and garden on these days and will often stay outside much of the day if the weather and project permit.
