On Wednesday morning the rain held off, other than a few stray drops, temperatures were mild and we had a fantastic ECO session.  After hearing the story "Those Darn Squirrels" by Adam Rubin (your child can tell you about it!) children were challenged to create a squirrel carnival or playground.  Groups of 3 children were each given several small containers, rope, a pulley, and a couple of carabiners.  They were also encouraged to use natural materials from the forest.  Some of their creations included squirrel zip lines, swings, elevators, and trapezes.  Many students requested more time for exploring with these materials so we will bring them with us in the coming weeks.
