Tales on the Trails<br />
3-5 yrs<br />
Children look for story components in<br />
the real world, sequence them, <strong>and</strong> tell<br />
the story with appropriate actions. When<br />
weather is reasonably good, we’ll be out in<br />
the park, when weather is inclement, we’ll<br />
be in the classroom or the Carson Nature<br />
Center. A simultaneous hike for caregivers<br />
allows for some precious, active down-time<br />
while children experience nature <strong>and</strong> learn.<br />
