Making an Impact on Our World

True to our nature, we adapt and change with the environment and seasons around us. In this in between time, teetering between winter and spring, our morning meetings have moved to the picnic tables outside of our school. Students and teachers introduce ideas and prompts for the day and caretaking has become a central theme. Students have shared ways they take care of themselves, each other and the environment. From picking up garbage newly revealed under ice and snow to embodying the values of peace ninjas and kindness leaders to grassroots activism--our nature kids are making an impact on our little preschool world and beyond.

A first sign of spring! Mouse and Nest take a closer look at a baby Mullein plant. Everyone takes a turn feeling its soft and fuzzy leaves. We notice how the new growth is a light green color in contrast to the dried up dark green and brown leaves it grows out from.
