Last Week in Photos: Jan 29 + Feb 1

I’m going back to a weekly photo dump, including field trips, rather than put them in each specific post. Parents can search these weekly ones, organized by day. MONDAY THURSDAY We have 13 enrolled students for our drop-off program! I know parents in the Thursday program want some idea of what goes on. I will …

M – November 6: Sunprints + Scents

This morning, we’ll start with a game of Red Rover, then dive into today’s theme. We’ve got some seasoned LARPers + cosplay kids. We’ll see if we can find the edges between these two things + navigate an overlap? A merger? Wear/bring a costume + let’s set a scene together!

This Week in Pictures: Pickle Gulch + Ghost Tour

Eight families over four days in the woods = lots of games, exploring + fires. Whether you camped with us or just came up track ghosts, thanks for making our group’s fall trip memorable!

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 …

M – February 13: Valentines Exchange + Galaxy Jars

Let’s celebrate Valentine’s by decorating a receiving box + exchanging cards! Please bring a small box to decorate + any special decorations your kids want. We have lots of specialty papers, glue + tape in the Wildling tub to share. We’ll do our usual warm-up activity and then we’ll probably play some musical chairs or …

M – February 6: Game + Puzzle Exchange

It’s another game day, but different! This time, bring games + puzzles your family has outgrown, didn’t enjoy, or just no longer use. We’ll figure out how to swap them fairly. (We’ll probably play them too.) We can also leave a few favorites in our Wildling tub + start a puzzle stack in the little …
