With ample water breaks and shade aplenty, they seemed no worse for wear. #getoutside #getoutdoors #naturecamp #naturebasedlearning #naturebasededucation #naturebasedpreschool #forestschool #hikeinthewoods #shelterbuilding
Final post of the 2020-2021 school year. We didn’t just survive, we thrived! End of year celebration to cap off a year of learning and playing outdoors; making connections to each other and to the natural world. Our celebration exemplified how we roll at ERS complete with kid-made juneberry and mulberry jam picked from our own trees and the “Juneberry Jam” song written by our Sassafras class in response to their discovery of this edible fruit in our midst. #lastdayofschool #outdoorpreschool #learningoutside #naturebasedlearning #naturebasedpreschool #schoolfamily
A day to celebrate…to celebrate the end of a rem A day to celebrate…to celebrate the end of a remarkable school year; to celebrate the families who were willing to take the leap in trusting us and each other during this remarkable school year; to celebrate these awesome adventuresome two, three, four, and five year olds who have grown in so many ways this year; to celebrate the incredibly dedicated staff who made all of this possible during very uncertain times and at no small risk to their own well- being; and to celebrate that after persevering through more than a year full of restrictions, we are finally able to safely come together as a community, to connect, play, and see each other’s smiles as we do so! Yes, it was a day to celebrate. Thank you @spirit_equestrian for hosting a great workshop and #fryingpanpark in Herndon for creating the perfect backdrop for our all school family field trip that included a hike and rock climbing, a horsemanship workshop, engaging farm programs (simple machines and a meet and greet with the baby chicks), plus picnicking, tractor rides, and visits with all the animals and their babies. Will need a second post to capture all the action…also noteworthy this is our first ever all school group photo! #naturebasedpreschool #naturebasedlearning #getoutside #getoutdoors #familyhike #schoolfamily #farmlife #spiritopenequestrian #endofschoolyear
