Week 12: weaving baskets + using black walnut dye

Highlights from the week: (10/24-27)

  • Collected muscadine vines and began weaving a little basket for holding class materials.

  • A red shouldered (?) hawk swooped into our play area and landed on an oak branch above students. The curious hawk spent a few minutes observing students below their perch. It was such a special moment!

  • Dyed white bandanas with black walnut dye!

  • Built fairy houses

  • Swung on the leaf-filled burlap sack

  • Enjoyed a warm snack of oatmeal and lemon balm and elderberry tea
