The Tel Aviv class had so much fun playing in the snow today! The whole class went up the stairs to investigate the big piles of snow next to the parking lot. We climbed them and scooted down them they were so neat. Adam said he could see as far as the fire department! After a bit some kids were ready to go inside and went with Lauri to have circle time while the others choose to play more outside. Micah Rosin, Micah Gladstone, Elias, Charlotte, Noah and Zachary stayed outside for an extra half an hour and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside.
I love spending time outside beyond the walls of the playground because we leave all the toys behind. For a full half an hour the six of them entertained themselves by using snow, sticks, each other and their imaginations. They built camp fires, dug for treasure, played house and more. We walked around the playground fence and spent some time by the trees and wooded area next to the playground. They were all engaged in powerful imaginative play and it was a such joy to watch these six kids just being kids. After the extra half an hour tummies began to rumble and we said goodbye to the woods and hurried inside to make more snowmen, this time out of paper and bananas back in the Tel Aviv class.
I was discussing this with Charlotte who pointed out to me that, "The girls missed all the fun!" It looks like she was right!
