Beautiful Junk!

When children explore their natural world, ask questions and use their imagination, they are engaging in meaningful learning. We are encouraging students to express their creativity as they discover, collect, arrange, experiment and design with found and recyclable materials. Please allow your child to bring in items found in nature (pine cones, leaves, snails, worms etc.) and donate recyclable materials from home. Here is a list of items but please don't limit to only these materials.
