The Pine kids were SO excited to get back to the forest today. Because S spends the beginning of her day in another classroom, she was already familiar with a coveted branch that hung low enough for the kids to try and swing on.
"There's a tree swing at the forest, we should all do it!"
S, who seemed to display a high level of confidence, took a hold of the branch as R handed it to her. She took a deep breath and jumped off the log.
S swung with grace over the ground. The others watched in awe and quickly lined up to take turns.
Each friend took a different approach and not always quite sure on how to get the same kind of lift and swing S did. W seemed unsure on the whole activity, but was willing to try. He couldn't quite get the desired swinging motion and lost interest after his first try.
L saw how the others were swinging and although a little scared, decided to try several times in a row before successfully swinging. He learned to hold the branch a little higher and lift his legs.
"I was so brave! I did it!"
The forest provides endless entertainment as well as providing confidence in so many kids. Another great day with the Pine kids.
