Preschool children love to explore the world around them, but not every child has the opportunity to explore the outdoor world around them. Many of our students have no idea where the food in grocery stores come from, or that people can actually use resources in nature to make their own food! Funding for our preschoolers would provide them the opportunity to take knowledge they learn in our classroom about tapping trees and making maple syrup to an actual hands on experience at the sugar bush tapping trees. The second visit to this local forest would provide them an opportunity to see for themselves how animals in Minnesota survive the winter. This funding would allow us to take our classroom outside and apply what they've learned to a real life experience in the forest as they look for tracks and animal signs.
