Students may choose to add Math Workshop, project class for and Rooted Literature to their weekly schedule.
In our children's educational programs, science and math instruction dive deep into subject areas, striving toward higher order thinking skills. Students keep a science/math notebook for reference and documentation of their work. Rooted Math uses storytelling with our forest kids, Fern and Arrow, and natural elements to teach K/1 math concepts. Both Nature School classes and Rooted Math follow weekly themes along with project-based work. Our 5–7-year-old students gain practice in following directions, dissecting and matching elements of nature, guided project work, and increasing their nature vocabulary. Our Rooted Mindset curriculum is also included in this class. The K/1 Nature School includes a guide for meaningful homework in math, science, and practical life, making it easy for parents to plan, document, and enrich each week’s lessons. A curated list of book suggestions (most available at the library) is provided for each study subject.
Many of our K/1 students stay for extended time, taking advantage of our Rooted Projects.

In these children's educational programs, students explore science through hands-on experiments, microscopes, and scientific tools while learning the basics of experimental design. The class introduces higher-level concepts such as energy, molecules, familiarity with the periodic table, and plant and animal cells. Students also study influential naturalists—including Jane Goodall, John James Audubon, and Carl Linnaeus—while developing skills in research, writing, grammar, and presenting their work to others. Students should be beginning readers with emerging writing skills. Additionally, students may stay for lunch and join our nature school classes.
