Nature Week: Exploring the World (and our neighborhood)

This week we are focusing on nature, learning about environmentalism and how we are connected to the world around us. Nature includes lots of things, from plants and animals, to recycling and taking care of our neighborhoods. Last week were were very lucky to have a visit from Riley's Place, a non-profit in Woodside, CA that brings us animals that the kids can interact with (for more info, go to http://rileys-place.org/ ) Sara, the therapy dog, stopped by to say hello, and the kids made a great connection with her.

This week we are focusing on how we can make the planet better, for our animal friends and for future generations. Stay tuned for more great pictures, as we go on hikes, and even a mini camping trip on Friday. Of course, it couldn't happen without our volunteers, I will be posting a little video about them tomorrow!
