SUMMARY:Bilingual Nature Stories - Historias de la Naturaleza Bilingües
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we open your eyes to the wonderful world of nature through a family-friendly\, nature-filled storytime. We’ll begin by sharing a story in both English and Spanish in the Nature PlaySpace Amphitheater at 10:30am\, and will then head to other areas of Prairie Ridge as we explore natural themes from each day’s stories in a hands-on\, interactive manner. As we explore\, we’ll learn how to say a few words relating to the day’s theme in Spanish!  \nThis is a free program beginning at 10:30am. Come dressed for the weather and prepared to take a walk! Most walks will be stroller friendly. Everyone is welcome at the Nature PlaySpace\, but it has been designed especially for kids ages 7 and younger — Nature Stories books and activities were chosen with this age group in mind.  \n—    \nÚnete a nosotros para descubrir el maravilloso mundo de la naturaleza a través de un programa para toda la familia donde leeremos un cuento sobre temas naturales. Comenzaremos compartiendo una historia en inglés y español en el Anfiteatro del Espacio de Juego en la Naturaleza a las 10:30 a.m. para luego dirigirnos a otras áreas de Prairie Ridge para explorar y aprender sobre lo que hemos leído en el cuento de una manera práctica e interactiva.  \nEste es un programa gratuito que comienza a las 10:30 a.m. ¡Ven vestido adecuadamente para el clima y prepárate para dar un paseo! La mayoría de los paseos son adecuados para cochecitos de bebé. Aunque todos son bienvenidos al Espacio de Juego en la Naturaleza\, este programa ha sido diseñado para niños menores de 7 años: los libros y actividades de Historias de la Naturaleza se han elegido pensando en este grupo de edad.
