Dedicated to the Great Outdoors!

 We spend a lot of time outdoors !  Every morning upon arrival, if the weather is mild and not too rainy, we are out on our playground space.  This outdoor time allows the children time to become reacquainted, run around, and be active and loud before we ask for our "inside voices" and "listening ears".  

After our snack, morning meeting, and indoor choices (that usually include artwork and projects), we are back outdoors, sometimes taking a long walk together, sometimes spread out in our outdoor classroom, or on our playground space again using the sandbox and swings and outdoor kitchen.  Being outdoors gives children the opportunity to engage and act without the confinement of walls and windows.  

This blog is dedicated to our love of the great outdoors!  

We have spaces where we can run ahead and STOP! 

This child was giving her friends a very nice ride on the swings!  KID POWER!

We explore and discover-these children pulled out a "root" and were sure that it was from an apple tree. 

Being outdoors allows us to take safe risks with our bodies and skills and learn what our limits are!

Being the line leader outdoors means leading the whole group through the trails.....

Sometimes we can lead a whole play scenario from above! 

Everyone was "brushing it off" in this picture! 

Until Next Time,
