What a great hands-on, interactive, and educational way to spend the day! Students were able to actively and fully explore all the areas and exhibits! Although we weren’t able to capture everything here are a few photos we were able to take… one of the favorites was the inside of the beaver dam! So cool!
Also, here is a quick video taken off the OAC website that tells more about the center.
We made hats and marched around the school with instruments and wished all our Cotter friends a happy and safe winter break!
Today we sent the reminder for Cotter’s Winter Fair scheduled for Thursday December 21, 2023. All classes at Cotter and all GSRP classrooms in the district are invited to this Winter Fair and will be attending at various times that day. Our classroom’s scheduled time is from 2:00 – 3:15. That means our students and parents come during that time only. This has always been a very fun event and we hope to see everyone there. We ask that you make arrangements for siblings to stay home so you can make this an event that you and your prek child can share together.
If you have any questions about this please ask.
THANK YOU to all the families who braved the weather, bundled up and spent the day with us in nature… where the WIFI was off but the connections were strong!! 🙂
So creative and so much fun!!
Students were very engaged in this open ended art project. After collecting various items we found outside around our school, students chose which materials they would use as they made their own nature collage. We experimented with tape, glue, and string as we tried to figure out what would work best for their projects. We also read the book Leaf Man for some added inspiration!

Not all students were interested in putting their hands inside the pumpkin and exploring the seeds, pulp and strings but the ones who did loved this sensory experience!
Don’t let this simple activity fool you… there is a lot of learning and developing going on!
