This week we took advantage of sunny weather and enjoyed our outdoor morning circle at the park. Children were excited to find different color squirrels and birds. They looked for various birdhouses and tried to find spots to keep some nuts and seeds. They watched them closely nibbling and eating. Children understood that by going close and being loud around them is not ideal therefore they were very respectful and well behaved. We soaked up some sun and enjoyed rolling down the hill which we...

This week we had an exciting excursion into the city with the children. We took the U-Bahn to Marienplatz where we went to look at the Galeria Christmas window display. Together we looked at each window and played a game of ‘I Spy’. The children enjoyed trying to guess what item was red or blue or green and it was a fun way to enjoy the display. We had luck that the markets were open early, so we walked through the Marienplatz markets and saw the huge Christmas tree. They said it must be at...

This week we enjoyed meeting our wilderness educator in the wood for an exploration of animal footprints in the snow. The children took their detective cards and searched along pathways for signs of different animal tracks. Human shoes were aplenty, dog tracks were found bounding through the snow and even some crow footprints were scattered here and there. The children were certain they found fox prints and they loved this hunt for tracks. Later in the week at the playground, the children were...
