M – May 8: Water Party + Ice Cream Sundaes

Our last session of spring semester! Let’s craft our best obstacle course of the whole year. Bring any supplies you’d like to add into it + let’s go! We’re going to do a water-themed day instead of the field day we had planned. Squirt/water guns of all kinds! A few water balloons are okay, but …

M – April 24: LARPing + BFL

Bring shoes your kids can run in and we’ll begin the day with a game of soccer (before it gets hot). We have pinnies + some cones to designate play area. Let’s start with a super-fun mom search for dog poop while the kids get the field set up. LARPing is live action role playing, …

M – April 24: Rocks + Spray Paint

Circle at 10:30am with Monica, just after our opening game/activity, to introduce the day’s theme + schedule. We’re practicing this opening for our group every week, but it is not required. This week, let’s talk about asking before we touch things that aren’t ours. The owl pellets have arrived! We’ll set up our dissection tables …

M – April 10: Easter Science

Happy second Easter! I plan to set up outside + stay out there much of the day, enjoying the sunshine (74º)! Bring a blanket or chair for seating + any other stuff you’ll need to stay comfy under the trees. We’ll start our day with a group game, developed by Elliott. Circle at 10:30am with …

M – April 3: Wizards + Witchcraft

We’re going to start with a group game of Wizard Tag – like all good magical creatures. The Wizard holds a wand (it’s a pool noodle), chooses an animal + then runs around in a determined space, tagging others. The last person tagged is now the Wizard. I will bring supplies for this, mark out …

M – March 27: Firetrucks + Things That Go!

This week we’ll be gathering in a circle at 10:30am, just after our opening game/activity, to introduce the day’s theme + schedule. We’re practicing this opening for our group every week, but it is not required. If anyone has strong feelings about this, let’s practice respectfully opting out (remaining outdoors or sitting quietly in a …

M – March 20: CAT Day

It’s cats! Bring a picture of your cat (if you have one), cat stuffies, cat masks – you know, just, alllllll the cat-themed materials – and let’s hiss together. Dress as a cat, if you wish. I’ll find some cat art projects, coloring or drawing pages to bring. If anyone else has something specific to …

M – March 13: St. Patrick’s Day Party

This week, we’re celebrating St. Patty’s Day! Try to dress in green. No pinching, please. To start, Amber’s creating a treasure hunt, leprechaun style, with a pot o’ gold at the end! Bring a few potatoes for stamping + to mash up for our Irish lunch. We’ll prep some main tables for our shared food. …

M – March 6: Show + Tell

This morning, let’s warm up with… improv games. Nobody’s “in charge,” so let’s just set up a staging area + begin! (Probably after a quick run around the playground!) Please bring an item or two to add to our inspiration bin (you’ll get them all back) for the kids to draw from for their games …

M – February 27: Seedlings + Garden Planning

Let’s start seedlings! Bring some seeds to share + something to plant them in. I’ll grab some big bags of potting soil at Ace. We’ll set up tables outside + get started on our winter sowing. I saw this great post about using leftover milk jugs + takeout containers as mini greenhouses – this is …
