Where do mountains come from? On today’s expedition, we’ll visit Mt Holyoke at Skinner State Park and find out how it got there! Through game, song, and exploration we’ll become rock cycle experts and unearth the history of the Pioneer Valley.

We will head in to spring in full flight! Children and their adult companions will explore the world of birds through movement, songs, crafts and live animal observations. We will investigate what makes a bird a bird, bird adaptations, bird language and much more. By the end of our time together we will be amateur ornithologists!

Have you ever wondered why animals act the way they do, or what they are thinking? Why do coyotes howl at night? Is the cardinal pecking my window because it’s angry? Do the two crayfish you caught like each other? During this spring’s Homeschool II class we’ll be exploring these and many other questions about the inner lives of the animals around us.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It’s a nature superhero! In Homeschool I this spring we will learn about superheroes of survival in nature. We’ll explore super senses, and learn how sight, hearing, and smell are used to capture prey and avoid detection.
