When we are not working on a bigger project like making jelly, sometimes we have a dance party. This day we sang at least seven different songs and danced while playing instruments.

Sometimes your instruments turn into a friction fire kit. This preschooler diligently worked at making a fire while the rest of us sang danced around him.

Here the children are practicing their aim while throwing rocks to knock over the wood structure.

Who doesn’t like to get a tarp ride?

We found a mystery object. Nobody knew what it was.

Season’s Change song

Oh the seasons change and the leaves they fall,  and I will change myself

I will give my body to the cold,  the spring thaw will do me well

Yes I know,  I will grow

With the Earth,  between my toes

Making and enjoying our pancakes and jelly. Yum!

Over the past two weeks we have had so much fun in the snow. One of the kid’s favorite things to do is exploring the snow forts started by a group of older kids. They have used their muscles and worked together to climb and dig more tunnels. Working hard, trudging through deep snow, and doing silly dances to keep warm was a big part of every day.

The preschoolers practiced tracking both animals and each other. After seeing mink tracks near the creek and spotting a mink on our trail cam footage, they have been learning about animals in the weasel family . They enjoyed learning about how otters like to toboggan on their bellies and then used sleds to do the same. Some of the skills they practiced were how to bail off the sled and how to steer with their hands. It was really fun for the instructors to watch them.

We also talked about snowflake formation and had a beautiful moment where we could see perfect snowflakes on each other’s dark clothes. It was a great way to keep the attention focused while we were waiting for other kids to hide.

These two preschoolers worked together to climb the slippery hill and slide down many times together. We have seen so many examples of the kids working together to solve problems and their friendships are growing really strong.
