This program will offer a comfortable, home-like atmosphere for playful end-of-day explorations of an open-ended sound and narrative “forest performance project” that emerges from the collective play of the classroom community. “Performances” will be recorded and shared internally with families of the classroom.

Our gentle afternoon rhythm will include outdoor play (including frequent walks in our nine acres of forest), frequent snacks (please send two small snacks with your child!), a time for listening to and creating stories and songs, and an art activity based on our daily story theme. Bussing for children in grades K-5 is available from Cairo Elementary School.
