Kindergarten

Plants, Animals and Seasonal Changes

Kindergarten walks are based on environmental awareness through the changing seasons. They help to forge an attitude of respect toward the environment, each other and themselves as learners. Kindergarteners use four senses: seeing, hearing, smelling and touching, to observe and share their observations of seasonal changes.

Please note: All adults who work with children in the Big Backyard program must have a valid CORI. Please click here to fill out a CORI form. CORI checks are good for 3 years. Check with your school office if you have additional questions.
