Nature, Art, and Reading!

I was able to capture the students buddy reading on Thursday.  They get to read with the other two classes every week too!  







Our butterflies are starting to come out of chrysalis and the kids have been fascinated with the wings flapping.  The butterflies that are on display have been preserved from a few years ago.

In art we created "noise machines" for the community garden.  We talked about all the different ways you could scare the animals away and the kids have come up with some pretty unique creations.










We went on our Thursday nature walk.  It's a magical time in that forest of ours.  The kids are able to just be free and connect with their surroundings.  They love finding little streams, or a unique root, animal prints, large rocks to climb, and so much more.  We are so fortunate to have a forest as our backyard.  These kids are so lucky to have this connection with nature at such a young age.



























It sure is beautiful where we live.

Outdoor Play

This could be one of my favourite things about this school.  Our outdoor education.  The kids are ALWAYS outside playing in the snow, the forest, creating imaginary games.  Nature is their teacher.  I couldn't help but capture some of the kiddos and their play.
