A three-day camping adventure to Silver Mine near Fredrickstown, Missouri, for 22 six to eleven-year-old- children capped a busy month of activities for teachers and children at the Neighborhood School. Darla Templeton, Cathy Dolan, and Ann Manganaro supervised the group as they pitched their tents along the banks of the St. Francois. In addition to cooking their meals over an open fire, the children caught caterpillars and butterflies to bring to the cage at school for observing their life cycle. Crawdads and tadpoles were collected for the aquarium. A hike up the bluffs to the abandoned silver mine, singing around the campfire, a night hike, and walks in the woods culminated a terrific experience.
School activities during the month prepared the children for their outing: In science Darla Templeton included in her program the dissecting of a frog, the observation and data recording of the metamorphosis of a meal worm, and building an ant farm and collecting the queen and worker ants. Cathy Dolan worked with photography and picture developing as well as making butterfly nets. Ann Manganaro directed her children in writ[ending missing in source] about the children’s experiences. Ann and Cathy lead the children on a walk around the boundaries of the neighborhood to prepare the children for a neighborhood survey.
Highlight of the month for the threeto five-year-old children was a trip to Eckerts’ Apple Farm. Martha McNamara and Paulette Peterson commented that the trip was so successful for the 24 young children that a trip to a pumpkin farm is planned for November.
A reminder that the Neighborhood School has three openings for children in the three-to five-year old group. If you are interested in the school for your child, please contact Darla Templeton at 726-6532 or 725-4620.
