SAS fourth graders kicked off May by exploring the natural beauty of McKinney Falls State Park. Before the hike, students participated in a variety of mindful observation activities before hiking on a one-mile loop around the Lower and Upper Falls. Along the way, they identified local plants and animals and asked thoughtful questions about the world around them. It was a day full of discovery, curiosity, and joy in nature! Check out highlights from the day along with students reflections from the day: 🌳 “My favorite part was seeing ‘Old Baldy’ again because it’s fun to see one of the oldest trees in the USA.” 🪨 “My favorite part about going to McKinney Falls [State Park] was definitely when I got to see Old Baldy; that was super, super cool! Or maybe [it was] when I climbed up a gully. It was super hard, but I still got through it!” #WeAreScholars
