On Thursday, we were able to take a nature walk and learn about the bugs and other critters that inhabit the creation that surrounds Bethlehem. We were lucky to have Griffin Bray, a Naturalist Educator from The University of Minnesota, lead the way and share his knowledge with us! We had a wonderful time and learned so much.

Did you know that at Bethlehem, we tell families to "dress for mess"? This is because our students get to immerse themselves in play at spaces like our outdoor mud kitchen, at the easel, in the preschool gardens, and in our sensory tables!

Mud pie or pebble soup, anyone?

Today we welcomed friends from The Lullaby Project. Thrive Central MN offers this unique and interactive program for area child care programs. The Lullaby Project features multicultural representatives who teach providers and children a lullaby or song from their native country and assist each student in creating a musical instrument. The Lullaby Project provides children a one-of-a-kind unique view into a culture different from their own. Bethlehem ECC was blessed by two women from different parts of Africa, a woman from Columbia, and a woman from Russia all sharing a little about their cultures with our students. And we are excited to welcome another team from the Lullaby Project later this Summer.
