Wildflower Nature Preschool- Rockford, Illinois

The children could relate to the idea of being unsure about how to approach a new neighbor and even what it would be like to be in an unfamiliar space- in this case a new country. We also introduced the idea of replication with this coloring page.

It's been a cold winter so far in northern Illinois. Now that the sheet of ice has melted, we were able to go on a walk two days in a row. This week, we've been exploring birds. The children were great at spotting the birds out and about this warmer winter day.
