Growing Roots Microschool

Sometimes going to a nature school looks like daily walks through water!

With all the recent rain, the chicken coop wasn't accessible due to a small pond in front of it.
On Monday I asked the Bluejays what we could do to divert the water away from the coop.
Here it is Wednesday, and they've used every free moment they have had to create this.....
I'm incredibly impressed!

Looks like making individual apple pies was a hit! In two weeks we will visit Cook's apple orchard.

Attempting to start fire with a magnifying glass works the muscles of patience and stillness that some children don't exhibit at other times throughout the day.

What a blessing to be able to stretch and grow by choice!

Bluejays and Killdeer started assembling play houses for Hawks and Chickadees this week.

We filled our last open spot in the oldest group. The other groups had been full since before school started.

We're all getting in the groove, establishing routines, and learning!

This week we've been talking about peace and what it means to have peace and be a peacemaker.

We've had a great start to the year!
