campus in winter

Winter brings changes to the natural world of our Country School campus, from the snow on the ground to the bare branches of trees that reveal the birds visiting our feeders. We study the rhythms and signs of the season, the land and the sky, and the way nature can surprise us with new things to learn, right outside our windows.
