Poetry and Poop

April is Poetry Month, contains Easter, and hosts Earth Day. So we are going to look at how eco-systems work at the simplest level- Who is eating who?

We will try to untangle the food web with hands-on activities and games. Then we will digest some of that “big brain” vocabulary and turn it into magnificent magnet poetry.

Snacks will be provided. If you have allergies or dietary requirements- please note them on your registration form.

Check out the beautiful photos taken by the participants of the March Break Photo Workshops!
