This morning the children worked with  popcorn and mini construction vehicles at the sensory table scooping with with backhoe, loading and dumping the dump truck, and clearing roads with the bulldozer.

To make french toast for breakfast, the children helped crack the eggs, whisk them up, and dip the bread in. When we are done with breakfast each day the children wash their dishes before we go outside.

We took the compost out to the pile, and then found one egg in the chicken coop. We clipped some branches to take to the goats, and went over to the barn.  After visiting with the goats for a few minutes, we decided to take a walk up the hill through the meadow. It turned into a long hike into the woods. We found a beautiful little maple grove to sit in and be still for a while.
