Cedarsong Forest Kindergarten Emergent Curriculum - November
©Erin Kenny 2013November was warm enough that we had several barefoot days in the forest. There was also a lot of wind, leading to daily accumulations of fir needles and small branches on the forest floor. We experienced many days of fog this month which led to opportunities to discuss what fog is. The children have noticed that the light in the forest is changing and the mornings are darker. This has been a great lead-in to talk about how the days are shorter now as we approach the winter…See More

Cedarsong Forest Kindergarten's Emergent Curriculum - October
©Erin Kenny 2013 Autumn is palpable in the air and on the ground from chillier temperatures to permanently damp earth. We have all added more clothing layers this month and the children have been requesting their mittens more often. That being said, we also experienced several days this month when it was warm enough for the children (and two teachers) to go barefoot! The children are noticing evidence of the changing season and there is a lot of discussion centered around these changes. Where…See More

Natural Play Killers vs You and Me
What is it that's stopping us getting outside? Is it screens? Is it lack of interest?
