Outdoor School

After listening to Katy Bowmans' podcast about Outdoor School we've been trying to spend more time outside.
We collected wisteria "coins" palm bark, acorns and a broken bracelet among other treasures. The next day we discovered that the acorns had little grubs which crawled out and let us observe them. We climbed and did hanging at the playground, found a little time for some written work at the picnic tables, looked through our rock and shell collections, made music with sticks, collected some caterpillars and put them in a cup with some greens.
