Nature Appreciation

The lesson was going to be to take a walk around the neighborhood to find interesting leaves, branches, flowers, or other natural items to stick on clear contact paper to make a something that could later be hung. It had been a rainy week so we had to skip the walk since everything was wet. Luckily, I was able to find plenty of leaves, flowers and twigs beforehand for the children to use. Everyone really enjoyed the project and there were some wonderful pieces to remind everyone about the beauty of nature.

Enjoying Books

The month of February went by so quickly. I just wanted to share these two images of the children reading.

The toddler had set up a little rocking chair next to a shelf with books. I didn’t manage to get a picture in time, but she had also invited a friend to read with her.

The baby in the picture was really interested in the book. At first we read a different one. She protested when I got up, but she quieted down as soon as I came back with another book.
