Saturday May 22, 4pm – 5:30pm

Just because you’re stuck at home doesn’t mean your family still can’t go around the world! This virtual adventure will send you off to explore the world’s best museums and historic locations via links to eye-popping websites. Your challenge: follow our clues, find amazing objects, and answer tricky questions about them. Stops along the way include a 360-degree view of the ancient streets of Pompeii, Italy, prehistoric cave paintings in France, a swim around the Great Barrier Reef and a live panda cam in China.

Family Art Project: Unfurling Field Journals and Sonic Field Notes
Saturday May 22 & Sunday May 23, 10am – 1pm
Wave Hill, 4900 Independence Ave, Bronx, NY
Free with registration
This Biodiversity Day, what are you paying attention to? Find the diversity of plants, animals, and life that unfurls around you. Make handmade pop-out and accordion style journals to document your observations with designs that unfurl as flowers do, recording your naturalist studies. Join us in a collective walk as we make notes in our field journals and use recording devices to document the sounds of the garden and woodland.
Online
Kids Doga on Zoom
Sunday May 23, 10am – 10:30am
Online, hosted by Karma Kids Yoga
For ages 6 and up and their dogs (parents welcome to join).
Let’s celebrate our furry friends by giving them a space on our mat to practice along! Dogs really love the energy that yoga brings to their humans…it makes so much sense that they’ve been crashing our classes! Dogs will be an active part of the class through yoga poses, belly rubs, breathing exercises and even showing off their own tricks!
Shari and her dog, Dexter, will also show you how to teach your dog to do a downward facing dog on command!
