Nature Scavenger Hunt

We got into a summer mood this week at NRP. With a scavenger hunt and a lovely hike, the kids enjoyed a sunny day around the school property. During this activity we engaged in physical activity while nurturing the minds by searching for natural objects in our local ecosystem. In groups of two each team avidly searched for rocks, insects, and different types of vegetation, and checked them off their scavenging list. So much fun! We highly recomend trying this activity at home as a family. 

Some of the Colorado Early Learning and Development Guidelines we addressed during this activity include:

• Social Relationships: The healthy relationships and interactions with adults and peers. 
• Physical Health Status: The maintenance of healthy and age appropriate physical wellbeing. 
• Scientific Skills and Method; The skills to observe and collect information and use it to ask questions, predict, explain, and draw conclusions.
