Southern Oregon Head Start is a federally funded program for low-income families. Children in the Head Start program are given limited time outdoors in their natural environment. Students were guided in a diverse array of nature-based lessons. Through experiences with the natural world children can gain a deep appreciation for the outdoors. Students explored natural materials and lessons that integrated mathematics, literacy, and social-emotional development.
