Every week we continue to take walks to Harrison Field. This outdoor excursion can land on any day of the week, although we try for Thursdays. It is very helpful for children to have outdoor shoes any day of the week - even if it's in their backpack. This allows children to explore in the woods, stay safe on the sidewalks and play movement games in the field. Last week, students worked cooperatively together in team relay races. Children moved like insects, ants, fireflies and many other kinds of insects. It was great to see the encouragement and excitement as children cheered for their teammates. Last week we also spent a short time in the forest, using our owl eyes to notice how things have changed over the summer. INQUIRE with your child what "leave no trace" means!
