SUMMARY:Power of the Trees: Nature Buddies Pre-Class (11 and up)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the last homeschool program of the school year to learn about the POWER OF THE TREES. We will be learning about why they are so important not only for us to breathe but critical in the health of our planet. We will discuss the different parts of the tree lifecycle and what role trees play in our everyday lives. If the weather cooperates\, we will go outside to see different types of trees and to hug a few! \nNature Buddies Pre-Camp: \nApril 3 from 1p.m.-3p.m. \nSally’s Homeschool Program: \nApril 10th  from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. \n$12 per student\, register for the April 3 event here. \nThings to know about Sally’s Nature School:  \n\nAll ages are welcome\, but we focus and only charge for children 5+ years-old (the main program for 5 – 10 yr. olds and the Nature Buddy program for 11+).\nThere will be an area for toddlers to hang out.\nNature Buddy must be 11 years old by the date of the program.\nNature Buddy should be available for both program dates and only pay for one date.\nThere are limited spots available.\nIf your child is older than 10 yrs. old and is not a nature buddy\, they will still have a great time!\nThe donation fee is $12/child that is participating.\nEach program runs for 2 hours – Nature Buddies: 1 p.m. – 3 p.m.; Sally’s Nature Explorers: 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.\n\nThis is a series of 2-day field trips to Sunfish Lake Park and the Sally Manzara Interpretive Nature Center\, in Lake Elmo\, MN\, for a local homeschooled-kids group (between 30-50 children; Ages from pre-K to 9th graders) (“grade level” varies depending on what the kid and abilities). \nOn the first day the presenter (nature center staffer) and the older children\, roughly grades 7-9 (varies depending on what the kid and their abilities are)\, will learn about a predetermined environmental theme and determine how they will assist in teaching pre-k through 6th graders. Initially\, there will be pre-selected programs for them to choose from to set up the next day’s field trip and then eventually they will figure out how to create aspects of the lessons on their own. Once the 7-9 graders construct their own lessons\, they will then determine how to implement what they learned through outdoor/environmental education focused lessons to the lower grade children on the second day. \nThe second day will consist of the 7-9 graders implementing the mini-camp of lessons with supervision and guidance from the presenter.  These sessions will be completely outdoors unless severe weather conditions are present. If you would like to schedule sessions for your homeschool group\, or would like more information\, email Verity Davis at verity.davis@sminc-lake-elmo.org.
