From documentation by our wilderness day teacher/f From documentation by our wilderness day teacher/facilitator: “Continued conversations about trees and our favorite tree that fell down, I introduced the idea of identifying the trees. I wonder if they know what types of trees they climb on, and what they know about other trees we spend our days with?” 🌳 As we do at TKG, this is an ongoing, evolving conversation between learners and guides. Stay tuned for more… #WhyWeTKG #reggioinspired #outdoorclassroom
