During our last ECO session our focus was gratitude for the forest and our ECO experience. We spent some time in the classroom thinking about favorite ECO activities throughout the year and we wrote thank you notes to Victoria, our ECO leader.  We also spent time talking about the many aspects of the forest we are grateful for, including trees and animals. Children then had an opportunity to make notes or pictures of thanks to the forest on birch bark that we placed around our outdoor space. We are extremely fortunate to have such a great space to visit every week. Thank you to parents and the WES PTO for supporting this fantastic opportunity as well!
