Last Monday, Marine Science Consortium education staff members attended the Early Childhood Project Learning Tree workshop at the Croydon Creek Nature Center in Rockville, MD. We found ourselves tracing group-members' bodies to create imaginative trees, dancing around a room with tree branches, exploring a nature trail using shapes and colors as our guides, singing songs and reading stories about trees. Armed with the award-winning PLT pre-K curriculum guide, we left the workshop better able to conceive of programs for the wee-ones not targeted typically by MSC programs. Of equal importance, the workshop gave us the opportunity to think and laugh together and to bond over a new shared experience.
