As the days grew cooler and shorter, our time in the gardens and with the chickens was limited. We still spent as much time outside as possible, learning about leaf anatomy, local ecology, and the basic needs of chickens. As our garden transitioned from its summer of abundant growth, we learned more about compost and the importance of returning nutrients back to the soil. We also embarked on an indoor hydroponics project that had us growing cucumbers!
STEM Kids NYC joins us this fall with an extension of Science Saturdays for our older scientists. It's been hands-on fun as we incorporate the Scientific Method through often messy explorations.
Friday mornings continue to be for age 3 and under! We've enjoyed singing, dancing, playing, and creating art. Our young ones have enjoyed exploring age-appropriate Lab materials, saying hello to our turtle Spaghetti, and getting a little messy as we paint and create.
