It certainly did not feel like April yesterday, but everyone was so engaged during ECO they didn't seem to notice the cold!  Children were able to pick between three workshops:  tools and building, making a fire and heating sap, or creating an adventure with buckets, rope, and clips.  My time was spent with the last group where much effort was put into creating a mouse elevator and a mouse chairlift.  Hopefully your child shared a bit about his or her morning!

I will be out again tomorrow, attending the annual kindergarten conference, which is one of the few professional development opportunities specifically focused on kindergarten.

Working on the mouse elevator.

A forest treasure.
