a sunny windy way



 long shadows

smiling shadows


a big shadow smile!


I found this

 what happens when you have yarn, children, and trees?

we handed the yarn to the children and they showed us....

Looking for New Adventures and Sounds

Today we played a game with sounds, walking silently to listen for a sound and then producing our song in the group to make music together. The sounds were carried over by the children to a new spot that we found with lots of trees, and logs were pounded and hit with sticks to make new sounds. We talked about the work that the stick pounding was doing, making dirt for the trees to grow, like the insects that live in the logs would do. There was another try at climbing a new tree, and a very funny vine to hang over. AND there were a lot of puddles and mud. Truly the muddy boot club today, we say!
Until Next Time,
