A SPECIAL MENTION ABOUT THE EARTH STEWARDS CLASS

Tara Redwood School's Earth Stewards class is a one of a kind and uniquely designed to inspire caring for the Earth and its inhabitants. The program taught by Lisa Marie Dreyer has an academic focus supplemented by Montessori methodology, hands-on field studies, field trips, and daily forest immersion. The global curriculum will educate  the students in the interconnected nature of the planet and will focus on natural resources, indigenous studies, sustainability, and  preservation of animals  Our Compassion in Action projects will supplement global programs that promote preservation and ecological recovery. Students will also engage in a variety of activities such as yoga, Capoeira, cooperative games, Spanish, music., and art. Our daily mindfulness practice will support building a peaceful learning environment and community  for all students. Lisa has been teaching the Earth Stewards class for the last 10 years and has a Masters in Education, BA in Environmental Science, a California Teaching Credential, and a Montessori Credential. This upcoming school year the class will be composed of second and third graders and the class will move up together in the coming years to continue to explore, learn, and connect to the Earth and each other.
