Also... Thursday will do all the things we do in Rangers 2 but with a different subject
New! New subject- Geography, states studies, with a little history : integration with Rangers with all the other activities we do to enrich your at home learning & add another subject to our Rangers 2 line-up. Take both days & continue to enhance their knowledge & experiences...and it's so much fun! The subjects chosen in Rangers can add to whatever you already are doing at home, sometimes hard to make interesting and so fun & interesting in a group setting like this.

Always hands on holistic learning - joyful - fun way to learn that keeps kids engaged, helps them remember with less repetition & foster a love of learning. That's what we do.
THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR THE DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES OF THIS ENTHUSIASTIC AND CAPABLE AGE. WE ENGAGE & LEARN THROUGH MOVEMENT & WHOLISTIC FULL SENSORY LEARNING. RANGERS PROGRAM RUN BY SEMESTER FOR CONTINUITY, ROUTINE & STRONG FRIENDSHIP BUILDING.
WE LEARN RHYTHMICALLY WITH THE SEASONS, AND STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT. WE FOUNDATIONALLY LEARN – HOW TO LOVE TO LEARN IN A COMFORTABLE & ENGAGING ENVIRONMENT. OUR SPACES INCLUDE GARDENS, PLACES TO BUILD FORTS IN OUR LITTLE WOODS & FARMYARD, A SEASONAL STREAM AND POND. WE LEARN ASIDE AT TIMES A LAMB GRAZING, INQUISITIVE MINIATURE GOAT, AND OTHER FARM ANIMALS THAT WE CAN OBSERVE AND PET. ANIMALS BRING A CALM TO MANY CHILDREN & EXPAND THEIR EXPERIENCES AND EXPOSURES. SOMETIMES THEY BECOME THE LESSON.
WE LEARN CONCEPTS LIKE ENGINEERING, MATH, TEAMWORK & A SENSE OF SPATIAL AWARENESS WITH FORT BUILDING. WE BALANCE & DEVELOP OUR VESTIBULAR SENSES HELPING CONCENTRATION & LEARNING. WE ALSO LEARN WITH GAMES, MOVEMENT TO LEARN WITH THE WHOLE CHILD, WE CHALLENGE OURSELVES & WORK TOGETHER WITH GROUP PROJECTS.
OUR PROGRAM INCLUDES UNITS OF NATURAL SCIENCE, LITERATURE, NATURAL JOURNALING, ART, SOME YOGA, & MINDFULNESS, & PE.
WE ENJOY SPECIAL DAYS TOO, LIKE BIRTHDAYS & HOLIDAYS TO ADD A SPECIAL & EXCITING ELEMENT FOR DEEPING IMPORTANT EVENTS & MEMORIES.
RANGERS IS DESIGNED FOR FORWARD LEARNING, CREATING FRIENDSHIPS, FEELING COMFORTABLE IN OUR NATURAL SPACES & WITH THEMSELVES. WE TREAT OTHERS WITH KINDNESS & EMPHASIZE EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING ONE ANOTHER. WE WORK TOGETHER WITH POSITIVE CONFLICT RESOLUTION & UNDERSTANDING OURSELVES & OTHERS.

What to Bring & Be Prepared For Class :
Backpack : a "regular" sized day pack - school back pack. The tot sizes are generally too small & harder for the child to manage. The opening is smaller & it's harder for them to fit items inside.
Lunch in a Container : please send lunch and snacks in a container (not in a bag: bags fly around and hard for us all to manage
Morning class bring a lunch and snacks
Afternoon Class: lunch is optional if they ate directly before class. Most kids need to eat again, and large snacks or lunch is recommended
Large Filled Water Bottle : the cute small sizes are too small. It disrupts class to fill up frequently for the class
Dressed in Layers : Winter & early spring : Snow Clothes : head to foot. Beanie (don't rely on the hood), layers, snow pants or bibs, jacket, snow shoes
Bring a quart size mason jar with lid and a spork or fork & spoon that fit in the jar with the lid closed with names on each piece
