Week 7: Today I helped to rake leaves to build a pile for the children to jump in. It’s autumn! Aimee collects autumn leaves for paper lanterns to prepare for next weeks lantern walk. During lantern walk, the children carry illuminated lanterns through the neighborhood.
Celebrating seasons is important at Bird Song Children’s Garden because it creates an environment where the children’s bodies are connected to the earth. All of the songs, food, art and stories are celebrating the seasons. I am curious to see what winter brings to the school and how we will celebrate the chilly season since we spend a majority of the time outdoors.
