I have been very busy with reports and conferences and discouraged by winter and sad about the TV news and sad about a recent family death,
BUT,
I am enjoying this E-course so much, and feeling hopeful and inspired to get to work on this great project that will develop my goal to bring learning outside. SPRING is coming! I have 3 to 6 year olds, and think I will do one for Sunflower House by Eve Bunting. Sunflower cloth, parts of sunflower puzzle, sunflower butter and seed snacks, tools, seeds for planting, add some non fiction life cycle of sunflower books…And one for Pumpkin, Pumpkin by Jeanne Titherington or the book Pumpkin Circle.
I am so sorry for your loss. I too am sad about TV news and the state of our world. I am thrilled you are enjoying this e-Course and finding joy in it. It is these little memories and experiences we can bring to children that make this a better world altogether. Spring is just around the corner. The birds are telling me every day. A Cardinal was looking into my window just the other day. The sunflower house sounds wonderful. Will you actually make a sunflower house in your outdoor classroom?
Yes, I want to finally plant a Sunflower House this year. I would love to hear if you put together this backpack. I think I should do that same!
Wonderful! I too, have always wanted to plant a Sunflower House. My outdoor learning lab is very shady…but I might have to take a look again to see where I might be able to create one too. Let me know how you make out. We can compare notes. 🙂
This will take me awhile but I will post it….I am thinking of having backpacks that people with young kids can take and use at the farm while they are there, and then put back before they leave…
Absolutely BRILLIANT! I may not be as hard as you think. Put a few key items in there. One thing I would have is a journal where each participant who uses the backpack can reflect on their experience. Then each person(family) after can see what the other wrote….it can become a community backpack experience. Love it!
Today is a Friday, a very wintry Friday (just survived the 2nd nor’easter in 10 days — and our center has been closed for 2 days because we lost power! This has NEVER happened before!). Everything here is under a foot or more of snow. I will get started on a Curriculum-on-the-Go backpack; I already have a backpack on hand that I can utilize. I think the first related activity that I should like to engage my little learners in is collecting materials for making signs. The woodworking bench in my classroom gets daily use, and this could be a nice project for them to work on.
Are you in MA? I am in Beverly, MA and know the storm you are talking about. I am so sorry you lost power. That is hard. There are so many activities to do during these colder months…sign making is the perfect place to start. Thrilled to know you have a woodworking bench. What a bonus for you! Please take pictures of your process. You will be happy you did.
Yes, Victoria, I’m in Lowell, just up the road! This is not my first experience with you — I attended your “Teaching in the Dirt” workshop not all that long ago! (I’m trying to remember if Essex County AEYC sponsored you; I’m on the Board.) And I also attended a workshop you presented somewhere else before that. It might have also been “Teaching in the Dirt.” We’re old friends!! lol
🙂 We are old friends!!!
Waiting for my book First Peas to the Table. Might do a curriculum on the go for The Hat and ThevMitten by Jan Barrett to get started and winterized signs on cardboard wrapped in plastic while we await spring here in Minnesota .
Love that you are planting seeds of inspiration. Yea!
