Happy Spring!
On March 29, we kicked off the first of a series of fun activities that our wonderful high school members, Kate and Audrey, will be leading throughout the remaining sessions. After a quick debrief of our March 26 assembly (e.g., what went well, which areas we could improve on, what our friends or classmates thought), Kate and Audrey introduced the "Bug Hotels" activity that the students will get to work on next Friday.
Kate and Audrey facilitated a discussion about bugs and insects, and also explained how we will be making the hotels. If you/your child missed the March 29 session, check out Kate and Audrey's slides below and don't forget to bring in any materials you might have at home.
Now that spring has arrived, everyone was excited to go outside to resume our regular playground clean-ups. As usual, the Green Team Kids found a wide variety of trash and recyclable items around Newton Centre Playground. They also got a special treat on this particular afternoon: a visit from a red-tailed hawk:
It was wonderful to see the kids watch in awe as the beautiful hawk suddenly appeared and elegantly glided above the playground, landing on top of a fence. Thanks to Audrey, we all learned to identify the bird as the red-tailed hawk. To honor Matteo's request (and some others, who wanted to share this experience with their parents), I have included a photo of the hawk below for all of you to enjoy!
See you soon for our Bug Hotels activity!
