Our hearts are broken as we say good bye to our backyard tree today. It was here before we arrived. At least 50 or more years old and home to our Outdoor Classroom where Fairy Garden, shade for our mud pit, grass area, and the children's investigation deck were just a small part of the joy the children experienced. However the children had a learning outcome. They discovered that strong winds can have a powerful force, and we cannot control the forces of mother nature. "Whe...n we play in nature the lights are forever changing. All our senses are more alert. We can't help but allow it to feed our souls." Marghanita Hughes, Founder of Educating the Heart with Nature Art, 2020 Global Play Summit). #trees #shade #nature #hometofairies #reggioemilia #hometobugs #shadows

"Nature has restorative qualities." (Maggie Dent, Queen of ECE Australia) Being barefoot allows little feet and hands to experience the soothing touch of the earth flowing through tiny toes. The more time we spend in nature, the more their hearts open up. Children feel that they are a part of nature. They get to appreciate trees, flowers, insects, and animals, & how gentle they are. They learn empathy and so much more. For more information visit us at Ljcburbank.com....

Janet Lansbury at This Years Global Play Summit speaking to over 75000 Early Childhood educators said, "Step back, observe to become a researcher. Let them explore their world in their own time." At LJC our approach is exactly this. We allow children to become their own leaders in learning. To become scientists, archeologists, explorers, create and, express their own visions of the world, unrushed. We have open ended discussions at morning and reflection meetings about the...ir previous days/weeks discoveries. How they see the natural world around them, then teachers ask, are we meeting scientific standards. Our new normal is filled with self love, deeply calming environments that allow each child to direct their own learning. Today our day was filled with opportunities in our Outdoor Classroom. Getting little feet deep in the soil, learning how to handle a shovel and throw dirt. We also continued our efforts to discover which bugs live under the soil.
