The Wild Roots are inspired and guided to learn about the workings of the natural world and the role of humans within that natural world. Every day the Wild Roots kids explore the outdoor environment – in the forest or at the edge of the sea. Nature provides the poetry, the stories, the lab, the classroom, the think-tank…in which the kids observe, collect data, hypothesize, experiment, create, make, listen and do. The students work together in a collaborative effort, with the environment, themselves and each other. This class is designed for children ages 9 (by start date). Take Root directors and teachers take into consideration both the age and the social and emotional development of each child when determining their group placement.
