"To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves."
-Mahatma Gandhi
The Garden
The Garden
There are all kinds of gardens. One might have a fruit or vegetable garden, a flower or herb garden. Some gardens are there to serve wildlife or support pollinators. Some serve as a treat for the eyes or as a reflection of culture, as with a Japanese or Zen Garden. While there are many kinds of gardens, they all offer a kind of stillness and appreciation for the natural world.

We were fortunate to have some new toys in rotation this week, which got a lot of use. Our cooperative play and growing problem-solving skills have helped create ease and flow. More and more, we're hearing students use their words to navigate wants and needs!
Outdoor play

We had a joyful week of outdoor play. We found bugs and let them crawl up our arms, we played games on the field and of course, had a great time on the play yard.

Wondering about ourselves
Wondering about ourselves
Curiosity comes naturally to young children. Turning that inward supports open-ended questions and observations about ourselves like, "I wonder why my hair is brown," or, "I notice I'm a fast runner." Noticing leads to curiosity and a lifelong love of learning and understanding ourselves and those around us.
