We will learn to build the physical structures of our village, and then create natural crafts and tools such as baskets, counsel sticks, pigments, small pots, and much more!

We will investigate trees from their roots to their leaves and track animals by their scat. Discover what makes a plant grow, what makes water flow, and how all things, living and nonliving, are woven into the web of life.
