A kid feeding a #passalusbeetle at school yesterday. It was a #pet she had brought from home. 😆

In this journal, I reflect on the value of play-based learning. Yes, free play is wonderful and important, and I leave plenty of time for it. And, play-based adult-guided activity can also be a joyful learning experience for kids!

2025 so far has been a blast! These are just a few moments I was able to capture during all the fun.

Four mini-beast Odd One Out examples from top left clockwise featuring a tarantula spider, sugar ant, blue-banded bee, hercules moth caterpillar.

Which is the #OddOneOut?

Ever wonder why there are so many hexagons in nature?

What do you notice? What do you wonder? What does it remind you of?

Nature art depicting the backs of three nature school students sitting on a falling tree. They all all wearing hooded jackets. The two students on the ends are looking to the right. The kid in the middle is facing ahead. Art was created on a stump using bark, pine bark, pine needles, and sticks.

My coworker brought this giant piece of Tree bark to school so we let the kids do some painting outside. #natureschool

I love making nature masks! This is one of my favorite projects that we do. The energy and creative play that comes during and after this project is always a hoot 😆🦉

I believe #buildingcommunity is a way we can help build a more #peaceful society. It fills my heart to see a small group of parents at my #natureschool helping each other with afternoon #childcare. 🍃

They have the benefit of building relationships and are each other's support #network. 🥰

Excited to talk about gardening & early learning 🥰 #HomesteadPreschool #natureschool #reggioinspired #permaculture #communitycare

Yesterday at my four year-old’s nature school. At least the neighbors are friendly. They don’t seem to have any fear of the teachers or children anymore. #lagrandeoregon #natureschool
