Week 5: I start each Monday by cutting the corners of watercolor paper in preparation for painting. This gives children a nice canvas to create their art to then bring home.
Today while I was in the garden with the children, we harvested at least two dozen carrots. Since the winter season is approaching and it isn’t getting colder, Aimee is working on cover cropping many of the garden beds. I also raked some leaf litter and helped the children to cut vegetables for lunch. I think my favorite part about this year has been singing autumn songs and playing festive games. One of them is a game where we are all squirrels. One child hides their eyes and the other hides a hazelnut underneath a child and they take turns guessing who the nut is under them. Aimee had a wonderful suggestion to visit a traditional preschool to see what makes this preschool “Waldorf”. It would be a beneficial perspective to see.
