Forest Games

 It has been so nice to soak up some of the last few warm days we may see this year. They have really made for some wonderful forest days- no bugs, no cold, no mud. It's simply perfect! Because we have been able to visit the forest every week since the beginning of school, the kids usually end up doing similar things week to week. They find their favorite log to climb on, or their favorite path to run down, and lately a lot of them have been engaging in the same games. 

In this short video below, L & O are playing a fun game of tag! Between tag and hide and go seek it's so hard to keep up with all of them these days! They are extremely fast and can dodge in and out of the bushes. They zig zag around almost memorizing every stick, rock, and curve of the forest. They are amazing! 


It really is a joy to watch each child come into their own and become good friends. They have been working so hard to take care of each other and really focus on being kind & supportive.

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 be...

Creek Time

  Happy Tuesday! We spent our entire afternoon out at Larson Park! It was definitely a hot one so when the kids heard we were going to get to play in the creek, they screamed in excitement. Not everyone wanted to stomp around in the shallow water and that was a-okay. Such a fun afternoon splashing around, exploring, and doing a great job sticking together as a class!
