Spring play!
With the sudden burst of warm weather we have been going on our morning hikes again, providing a joyful break between our busy workshops.
Our recent afternoons have been spent playing ring toss, building fairy houses on stumps, cleaning up our playground space, and playing different running games. The children have enjoyed using shovels and rakes to engage in the real work of creating paths and clearing out old brush.
Spring projects!
Leanne, Lily's mom, invited the children to work on a community project; a quilt! Through her teaching videos we have learned what a quilt is and how a quilt can tell a story. The children voted for the story they wanted their quilt to tell; peace and love.
This week we read books about peace and looked at images of peace from around the world. The children talked about what peace looks like, sounds like, smells like, and feels like. On Friday they drew their first draft of what peace looks and feels like. Next week they will draw their draft again on a fabric square for our quilt. Here is a small part of their collective peace story.
