After School - PS 321
Nature and Gardening in Prospect Park for PS 321
We can pick kids up from PS 321 and take them directly to Prospect Park, where they will learn about amazing trees, mushrooms and delicious weeds! They learn to recognize and help native and endangered plants, grow and bring home delicious greens and explore the coolest flora and fauna! We intend to be outdoors in the park as much and as often as possible. This includes hot, cold, windy, snowy and drizzly weather. This is available for Kindergarten - 5th grade.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO COVID concerns and capacity limits, we are LIMITING PS 321 NATURE AND GARDENING TO MONDAYS and TUESDAYS. MONDAYS will be exclusive to PS 321 KIDS, but our Tuesday program in the park is open to multiple schools.
We suggest signing up with a buddy or buddies (a pod) so your child is not in an unfamiliar group. In order to make sure younger kids do not feel left out or overwhelmed, we recommend kindergarteners sign up with a buddy or pod member (sibling, best friend, etc.) Ask your kids to come up with a fun name for their pod! We have pods work together in small groups and keep classroom buddies, siblings and age groups together. Parents and babysitters also have the option of dropping children off at the park, including pod drop-offs.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
We have fun outdoors safely with face masks on, follow relevant COVID protocols and will communicate regularly about staying safe and healthy while having a blast outdoors!
DATES & COST

WHAT TO WEAR
All kids must wear face masks and dress appropriately, including sun hats, rain coats, rain boots, snow boots, sneakers (no sandals), etc... No fancy outfits because they will absolutely destroy them when they jump into that mud puddle! Please dress for easy and comfortable outdoor movement. We will sometimes be running or walking long distances as we study the mighty oak or the magnificent maple or our native bullfrog!
