Kids in our After School, Preschool, and “Now We Are Three” program are always busy learning, growing and thinking about ways to be kind to the world and to each other.
Recently, all of these programs spent some time creating green themed projects, Preschool and Now We Are Three in honor of Tu B’Shevat, the Holiday for trees, and After School as part of a whole day of greening.
After School Counselor Mauricio had the idea to create carnival games out of recycled cardboard.After School kids spent 13 weeks planning and creating games like this one. The entire After School community got a chance to try them out on ‘greening day’!Would you know where to bin it? After School kids play “Bin it to Win it”, and learn when and how to recycle. And when to compost!House 301 in our Preschool created this beautiful tree in honor of Tu B’ Shevat. We like to remember the good work the trees are doing to bring us fruits and leaves when spring comes back again.Preschool House 305 made this ‘present tree’ which you can see when you climb the stairs at the 14th Street Y!There are so many ways to use the beauty of nature in the art that we do. We are looking forward to spring!
