We will joyfully investigate a range of topics to expand budding scientific understandings and deepen our emerging mathematical thinking.  Sorting, classifying, counting, comparing, pattern, shape, measurement and number sense expand profoundly when provoked by nature. Neighborhood green spaces, paths, parks, ponds, and container gardens will provide magical invitations for learning.  Neighbors of all ages will grow as scientists and mathematicians as they curate collections, ask questions, thoughtfully observe, and document experiences in their big backyard!
