Last of the warm weather?

​These past two weeks have seen us enjoying unusually warm weather.  This means our organic garden is thriving.  The children are still seen daily picking and eating fruits and vegetables as they enjoy their outdoor time.  They are also enjoying sharing their bounty with the many animals on the farm.  We continue to enjoy cooking.  After climbing the ladder and picking the apples from our trees the children made apple sauce and apple pies.  They enjoyed eating their pie outdoors in the garden.  They even enjoyed sharing some of their pie with our beloved pig Wilbur which made him quite happy!  We used pumpkins, apples, squash and beans to work on linear and circular measurement.  We also explored the property for natural patterns.  We then made and documented both linear and circular patterns.  We are blessed to have a facility where we can extend the concepts we are working on to the great outdoors where a child’s brain fires more efficiently.
