Walking wild

 


At the Montessori school where I teach we created an on campus “field trip” for the children.

Hundreds of pumpkins were put out by the admin. Team and each class or cohort (COVID) came out individually. Each child got to pick a pumpkin and have an apple and a cup of apple cider.

It was so much fun!

There are already ideas in the works for how we can have another on campus “field trip” in the winter.

Snowmen and hot chocolate perhaps?


It isn’t always how far you go to enjoy the outside natural world.

Sometimes you just have to step out of your own back door and notice the beauty that surrounds you.

    When I saw the photo, I thought the pumpkins had fallen down from the pumpkin-tree :)

    Oh, I miss working with little ones. They are so inquisitive and fun to watch, and sometimes can learn a lot from them. Happy Tuesday.

    Great explanation of the confusing photo! That's an interesting thing for the kids to do, and quite creative. Your next one sounds fun, too.

    Many thanks for your link at 'My Corner of the World' this week !!

    What a sight, all the little pumpkins nestled in the grass. Sounds like it was a lot of fun for both children and teachers.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
