Redbud Class
With an emphasis on outdoor, imaginative play and exploration, students begin to show independence in the Redbud Class. As students hike uneven terrain, climb, and balance on stones, they develop gross motor skills. We play nature-connection games to expand our senses. Nature journaling and wildcrafting tune our fine motor skills. Sharing, listening, and problem-solving introduce teamwork and develop community.
