“Hibernation” was the theme for 1st Explorers last week. Rob Hawk, County Extension Director with NC Cooperative Extension, visited on Tuesday and took the children on a bird watching tour around the church campus. He installed 2 bird feeders and talked about the types of bird feed for different birds.
Curtis Collins with the Health Department shared the benefits of children and adults slowing down, relaxing, having a consistent nighttime routine, and getting plenty of sleep each night for healthy minds and bodies.
Chapel devotions centered around this topic also.
The children enjoyed some new items in the 1st Explorers room including a puzzle and STEM kit. The hyacinth bulb experiment provided by Diane and Charlie White concluded last week. The staff and students enjoyed watching the flowers grow and the fragrance was amazing!! Several of the staff and students took them home to plant.
