The Courtyard is springing to life – in its own way and in its own time!

St. Patrick’s Day is behind us, but there is definitely a nip in the air.

As the Courtyard awakens, the Committee is happy to let you know that the first bench has arrived thanks to  Mr. Cialone’s Dearborn High School Advanced Wood Tech class.There are plans for five more to accommodate your classes!   We are happy to encourage you to connect with the outdoors and take your classes outside.  Be creative, be scientific!  It is remains the goal of the Courtyard to take advantage of this outdoor classroom, engage in authentic learning in a natural environment, and expand insights so that we can develop a deeper and appreciative understanding of what it is to be a part of the natural world .

 

In the meantime, it is wonderful (and educational) to ponder nature’s subtle surprises.

Can you spot the squirrel?  (Hint:  you may need to enlarge the photo).

Special thanks to Ms. Grodzicki for sharing this adorable picture.

 

Welcome spring!
