Sweet Beach Dreaming
This season, Sweet Beach Dreams will explore the wonder of water, and teach the kids about appreciating nature, through the language of poetry.
Every Friday from 1 – 5pm, Talia Erickson leads the kids on 4-hour fieldtrips to a different Vancouver park or water-related area, where kids can play, run, and explore.
Sunscreen, snacks, sunshine and… say, those words all start with “S”!
What better way to learn to love literacy, than through fieldtrips and fun on Fridays?
