We had a fantastic ECO morning in the forest.  Thank you for sending your children prepared- it was definitely chilly in the woods.  The highlights of our morning were building mouse houses and choosing nature names.  We also learned a new song, heard a story about a tiger and a mouse, and had tea that was prepared in a kelly kettle.  Ask your child to tell you about all of these things- this afternoon they were eagerly sharing their nature names with anyone who passed us in the hall and there was a general buzz of excitement. When I asked the children to share their favorite part of the morning most couldn't pick just one thing!  Thank you to our adult helpers Lucy's grandma Maria, Jack's mom Erika, Keegan's mom Stephanie, and Matthew's mom Sheila.  Please let me know any time you would like to join us.
