Waning Crescent Moon
Oooh!
What a foggy adventure we had! We began by walking up the trail and
finding a new spot for morning circle where we talked about the plan for
the day and students did their jobs (weather watcher & rule
keeper.) Next we meandered farther down the trail while watching for
birds and different colors of plants and flowers. We stopped when we
arrived at our favorite tree, whom we named "Tunnel Tree." We spent a
lot of time playing around Tunnel Tree and even cleaned up her dead
branches. Then we started collecting moss and lichen to make nests for
the faeries and birds. Some of the moss we saved and pretended was ice
cream on top of pine cone-cones! Around this time there was some conflict with the students, as F. wanted to play, but only with T., and this was causing some hurt feelings with other students. We took some time to sit together in a circle so everyone could share their feelings, and we could talk about friendship and how to include all our friends when we play. When
everyone felt good again, the play resumed! The children did an
amazing job expressing their feelings and resolving this conflict with just a little bit of adult support.
