We have had a busy and exciting couple of weeks.  Last week during ECO we celebrated dandelions and had a chance to taste dandelion greens cooked over a fire (with a little maple syrup and tamari).  We also worked in groups to build mini-maps of the forest, including a hidden treasure (red bandana).  Each group then studied another group's map to see if they could find the treasure.   Children loved both the map creation and searching for the hidden bandanas.  This week we used natural materials to make ink and also had time to explore in the stream.  We found several interesting critters.

We were thrilled to have two cecropia moths emerge from their cocoons this week.  We are hoping for several more in the coming days.  We set them free with wishes for safe journeys.

Finally, everyone loved the school-wide boat challenge, the opportunity to work with other children and adults, and of course the ice cream!
