The Year of the Frog
"Pond Safari"

Students will explore the life cycles of frogs, turtles, dragonflies, salamanders and insects in the various ponds at Flanders. The program includes:

• Tractor rides and daily hikes through the woods to a pond with nets and buckets. Who knows what the catch of the day will be as we practice catching and releasing insects and amphibians.
• Learning about pond and marsh habitats.
• Discovering the resident beavers' lodge and learning about the habits of these engineers of the wild.
• Listening to frog stories from around the world.
• Participating in a Frog Art Show to be held at the Woodbury Library.
  

This is a BRAND NEW after school program to be held at Flanders. Students will need a parent note to give them permission to board a bus from Bethlehem Elementary School and be dropped off at the Studio at Flanders where they will be greeted by one of our education staff.
They should bring a healthy snack and be prepared to go on a hike and do crafts, projects, etc.
Pick up students at the Studio Welcome Center at 5:30 PM. Extended care available until 6 PM for an additional fee.
