Afternoon Practical Activities Teacher / Apprentice

All staff apprentice in some way to my work. She/he works with three aspects of curriculum:

• Wheel of Year – Our Curriculum is deeply married to the beautifully cultivated grounds where we acknowledge and honor the work of Mother Nature, Father Sun, and Nature Spirits.
• Gardens – Sometimes we have a Plant Mistress who brings even more to our garden work. We harvest foods and medicinal plants in the fall, make medicines in the Winter Greenhouse, and plant in the spring.
• Practical Arts – These crafting activities can involve the plant world and, as well, they reflect story curriculum.

Volunteers
