Children have been become increasingly observant the past couple of weeks. The connections are remarkable and beautiful! They are noticing things that are similiar- “Maybe these are jelly mushrooms, like the other ones” or “I think this is the same as the tree that you like, the pussy willow tree” (we have been documenting the changes of pussy willow). They are noticing and wondering about the environment, a gift of spending repeated time outdoors. They have also shown incredible resiliency through the wet weather- rarely commenting on discomforts or speaking of rain with any negativity at all. Their relationship with water is beautiful-they are learning about the beauty of water, its attributes and capabilities. Friendship roots are growing too- deepening or just blooming, wonderful to observe on our end. Each day brings new moments of learning and growing for us all.

with care,

Emily
