Summer Report
Remember summer days? Remember when there was nothing to do and also not enough time to finish doing nothing? Read books, watch leaves float down a stream, throw rocks, collect rocks, build houses and stores, or just sit and talk? So much nothing to do each day.
Travel Light...City & Forest
We travel light to city and forest, but we aren’t really traveling light, are we? We bring our own play histories with us and we share these with the children. We help them find ingredients for potions, sticks for fairy houses, leaves for letters and packages. We gift them with story and imagination.
19% Cold
“That’s right,” he added, reassuring all who would listen. “The honey bee drone doesn’t know. It’s only 19% cold. To the drone. Only 19% cold.”
The children had to get back to what needed to be done. They needed to continue playing and could n’t stop to untangle the sudden appearance of a bee.
Yellow Jacket Sisters
Three children had been stung by yellow jackets. The stings had not happened at school, but the memories and the desire to not be stung again ruled the day(s). Play and story came to the rescue.
