Birchbark Structure

Nancye Good led fourth graders through the process of constructing a birchbark structure in the "woods" next to the Mud Kitchen.  When they left, kindergarteners used the structure as a new spot for their  dramatic play.

Thanks to Nancye and the hardworking fourth graders.  And thanks to Lindsay and Kaelyn who documented the construction process. And, of course, to Valerie for the photo of the K students.

Kindergarteners are in the house...
