Emergent Curriculum Prairiewood Forest School programs draw inspiration from educational philosophies including the forest school model, inquiry-led learning, nature-connected mentoring, and place-based education. Mentors model using observation skills and asking questions to deeper our connection to the natural world. Games, wildcraft and wilderness skill challenges, and bushcraft projects are selected based on student interest. Throughout our times together, Mentors are intentional about modeling practices that reflect our values of kindness, caring for the land with reciprocity and giving more than we take, and learning directly from the natural world as our teacher, with an emphasis on noticing and experiencing our surroundings. Please chat with a class mentor or email prairiewood@stfrancisofthewoods.org if you have any questions!
