Happy Saturday! We were simply having too much fun here at GNP toward the end of the week (teachers were also prepping for back-to-school night) to share daily updates! We ended our week with our first off-site excursion to Lost Acres Orchard. Mrs. W was fabulous (as she always is!) with our little group. We learned so much about farms, orchards, bears, cats, chipmunks, baking, and of course, apples! The weather could not have been more perfect! Each child left with a bag of apples that Mrs. W was generous enough to let them pick, and many friends left with warm and full tummies as well. #naturebathing #inquirybasedlearning #preschool #holcombfarm #westgranby #playbasededucation #playbasedlearning #childcenteredlearning #openendedlearning #fallingranby #fallinct #northgranby #fallinnorthgranby #applepicking #appleorchard #ittakesavillage (at Lost Acres Orchard) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci5Ksz6skOS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Please join Granby Nature Preschool in celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Our own icon, The Granby Oak, which was just an acorn over 400 years ago when indigenous peoples lived in what is now Granby, is still alive and growing. Let us think of that great oak as a symbol of the resilience of the indigenous peoples of Connecticut who are also celebrating this day, and to the amazing power of one acorn. #indigenouspeoplesday #fallingranby #fallinct #ittakesavillage (at Dewey Granby Oak) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjh8U1vOZC7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Took a walk with the pooch, and initially he scared this guy away, but I was happy to see him back out and sunning himself. Got a nice photo of him 😁 #Roostrking #NatureNeedsNoFilters #ScalyFriend #FallInCt https://www.instagram.com/p/B34sbltnLXafFbB6ULcdPhDkKJ9EpWKGPAVy4c0/?igshid=ptbbhye530ot

A sure sign of Autumn in anew England. Our winters can be brutal, but let me tell you that it’s worth it in order to be able to experience our amazing 🍂 Autumn. One of the blessings of homeschooling my kids is that slow down to enjoy the beauty around them. Their attention to the little things, cause me to pause and enjoy them as well. How often are we so busy and focused on the next task, that we fail to stop and enjoy the beauty. Don’t miss out. Spending time being still today! #fall #autumn #fallinct #changingleaves #findingjoy #choosetoseetgegood #teachingkids #homeschool (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2UgE17hBs4/?igshid=1r3nrrf33nj0k
