Class Update

Hi All,
First, sorry I haven't posted in a bit - I've been pretty sick along with the rest of our class! Keep getting good rest and taking those vitamins.

Tomorrow we adventure to Hoyt Arboretum! I'm excited because we get to hike and be in the big trees! I know many of you won't see this until after the fact, so don't worry, but if you do and you have a camera you are willing to send along with your child - please do! we'll be taking pictures of beauty and art. I'll even let them use their phones for pictures.  It is supposed to be nice tomorrow but it will start off chilly and may remain cool in the woods, so dress warm, bring lots of water and food!

On another note, Camp Collins is next week, Wed Oct 3- Fri Oct 5. I will email the packing list and highly recommend to begin packing this weekend. It is going to be an amazing 3 days along the Sandy River and trees, playing and learning, sleeping in cabins with friends, eating camp food, singing songs...please have conversations around having this opportunity to study the forest IN the forest, that we are students in the field. It is so tempting to forget that piece while at camp! And, the teachers at Sunnyside have some pretty amazing classes to offer so take advantage of being able to experience all the teachers.
