We had drop-off in a new spot today (Parking 7), which offered a lot of excitement! The space offered a beautiful view and a great open space to run and imagine animal movements through the field. On our way into the forest, we paused to toss rocks into the lake. On our new path, some found a log and attempted to break it apart, while others collected sticks for use in a game once we reached the site. There was more negotiation as the children continued building on the ongoing superhero narrative. Kylie began collecting acorns and cracking them, which the children either joined or asked questions about. Larkin returned to her work depicting flowers from the field guide, which prompted the rest of AFK to explore the field guides we have and use them in their play. On our way out of the forest, Wendell lost a beloved plush friend, Red Pandy, and his friends were eager to turn back to comfort him and help him look for it. Mission accomplished!
