What a special, different week! We decided to cancel AFK on Friday because of weather and had a special garden/field/indoor day on Thursday for the same reason! On our wind day, Thursday, we did particularly fun stuff!
The children played outside in the morning and made wind socks/silk flags to experience the wind in new ways. We harvested American Beauty Berries in the garden and then brought the stems inside when the wind picked up to a dangerous level after snack time. They worked together to pull the berry clusters from the stems. Kylie took it home to make a special syrup you’ll receive on Tuesday! While inside the children made a no-cook fall spice playdough and had stations with puzzles, blocks, art, and apple cutting with a crinkle cutter.
In our usual site the children have continued to develop their interest in field games, playing Duck, Duck, Goose and Red Light, Green Light. They also have started making up their own games “Dance, Freeze, Sit Down” which they developed and managed on their own without any adult interactions at all.
These children are growing and changing every day and we are honored to witness it.
