Greenup Day with the Mountain School

     Friday was Greenup Day for the Westshire School.  All the students in the school spent time picking up trash, weeding and generally cleaning up the school grounds.  In preschool, we had students from the Mount School visit and help us clean up our playground and the area right outside the fence.  The high schoolers raked the woodchips into piles, and the preschoolers used our trucks and buckets to transport the woodchips from the grass to the parts of our playground where we want the chips.  We also weeded and raked the leaves near that fence and picked up sticks that were all over the lawn.  After 30-45 minutes of cleaning up our playground, the preschoolers took their high school buddies to the "big kid" playground for some fun.

Southworth Park We've taken advantage of the beautiful weather that we've had over the past couple of Tuesdays and have hiked to Southworth Park for fun and adventures.  Ms. Beth, our outdoor educator, has built a fire with the kids, and we've made popcorn and hot chocolate. The kids have enjoyed digging in the dirt, finding worms, building fairy houses, playing tag and so much more.  It's always enjoyable to read books and eat snack up there too. A few of the second graders even joined us one day.

 Fun in the Outdoor Classroom We continue to have fun and learn in our outdoor classroom. Last Tuesday we read an ABC book with alphabet photographs from nature. We then looked for and made our own letters out of nature. Check out the letters we made.
