New Class--Environmental Studies for Kids

Kids ages 5 to 12 are invited to join us for outdoor learning fun!

Thursdays from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m.
May 10th – June 14th


Kids will learn concepts of ecology and sustainability through fun
science experiments and hands-on outdoors experience. They will learn
the basics of
how to think ecologically, how to grow plants, how to take care of the
soil, and how to identify plants, trees, and animals. Students will
learn nature observation techniques that indigenous people have used
to spot wildlife and other exciting skills that can be used for
life-long learning adventures.

Lessons include:
nature identification
heightened sensory techniques
basic food web analysis
sustainable gardening
biology, soil and plant science
field journaling

Experiments include:
Pizza box passive solar heater
worm composting
red cabbage pH meter
soil composition experiment
terrarium building

This special 6-week course will be taught by Thomas Meli, B.A.
Anthropology with Environmental Science Minor. Course will be held at
Creative Learning Circle's home-school in Wildomar. Possible field
trip to Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Preserve! (With parent
accompaniment—$2 day use fee required.)

Fee: $90 for 6-week course, including materials.
$20 nonrefundable deposit due May 4 will be applied to tuition fee.

To enroll, contact eniciafisher@gmail.com, or better yet, come meet
Tom this afternoon at the Earth Fair 2-4 at Mission Trail Library!

Tom is VERY interested in offering a higher-level Science of
Sustainability course to teens and adults. Let me know if there's any
interest in that.
