The Kokanee class had a full day at the south beach at Seahurst expanding our knowledge of how birds and mammals make preparations for the fall to later thrive in the winter. Our focus was on the tree squirrel – leading our work into making a kid-size drey (squirrel nest). It wasn’t possible to put it in the tree, but many kids took to climbing to pretend they were in their drey. There was also time to enjoy roasting apples, making charcoal pencils for drawing and an awesome game of Cross the River.

The Chinook Class practiced their naturalist skills at Seahurst Park’s south beach and forest edge, giving students an opportunity to identify and locate plants and trees. We also took time to review journaling – an important way we chart and record findings.

 

A new school year begins at The Bridge School and Coho students start with what they know best, themselves!  Students explore their artistic sense and self-identity by creating a variety of self portraits to display in the classroom.

 

A new school year begins at The Bridge School and the Raven class looks forward to an academically rigorous year. Students are off to a great start learning about the scientific method, practicing observation skills using their five senses, starting Keyboarding Without Tears, and participating in our readers workshop.

Seahurst is so magical with the Coho class! Creature discoveries, shadow investigations, creating art from nature, water play, problem solving and moving!

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The school is getting fit and fundraising at the same time with Miles for May – our annual month long running event.  Every Thursday in May we head to Lake Burien School Park and run or walk laps before lunch.  We keep track of each quarter mile lap – the kids’ enthusiasm during this has been amazing!

       

The Chinook class overnighted at Camp Long together for a shared class experience. Camping, climbing and enjoying time together!

      

  

The Raven class went to the library to get a primer lesson on research.
