A Sunny Windy Day

a day for walking

looking

looking around corners

looking up

looking down

telling stories

looking together

just looking

hugging a tree

being kind to a friend

trying a climb

being quiet and still

running down a hill ( we lost count!)

and finding a way to hold on.
Until Next Time,

A Chill in the Air......

Heading Out!

we found some green!

here's some more green!

shadows and sun

what is happening with this tree?


tree hug!

walking along

this spot is the challenge spot!

holes in the tree! and acorns!


looking closely

even more closely


an impromptu concert!

second verse:o)




We headed out for a walk and a few stops in the forest today. The children were fast movers, and we covered a lot of ground, happily. There were signs of spring and leftovers from winter (nuts that had been eaten) which we looked at closely. But mostly it was an afternoon of free and active play and wonderful fresh air.
Until Next Time,

looking

some things we might need

a close look

an even closer look!
 We brought some useful things out in the woods today, which were all about looking. Egg cartons for collecting and looking, binoculars and magnifying glasses for looking afar and looking up close, a bird book for looking for birds, and chalk to add some of our own decorations. The children got right into the looking, and we think we've found a new favorite spot, complete with bridges to get to it.

Until Next Time,
Michele
look what I found!

looking afar

the beginnings of a collection

decorations

looking very closely at a tree seed

all kinds of looking going on


up and down

trying a climb

becoming a strong climber!

just climbing

look closely

looking afar

how did you do that?

ready for anything!

we found a place to sit together

this looks like a meeting

checking something out

just having a talk
