🏃 Exercise
We move our bodies through simple workouts. Exercise keeps us strong, healthy, and full of energy.
🥕 Cooking
We prepare simple meals or snacks together. This helps us learn about healthy food, kitchen safety, and how to follow steps and work as a team.
🌱 Planting in Our Greenhouse
In the greenhouse, we plant herbs like mint, basil, or parsley. We take care of them by watering and watching them grow. Later, we can pick these herbs and use them in the kitchen when we cook. This teaches us how nature supports our meals and helps us learn responsibility and care.
🌴 Going Out & Special Activities
We also enjoy going outside for fun and new experiences. These include trips to the beach, casino, movies, carnival, music festivals, and more. These outings help us connect with the community, celebrate culture, and enjoy life together.
