Join me at the park to welcome and celebrate a new month: December!
Nature is full of cycles and rhythms, and the more we connect kids (and ourselves) to those rhythms, the more rooted we all feel. Even though the solar calendar most of us follow is human-made, it is a tool we can use to offer 12 fresh starts each year. And, at the start of each month, the world looks, feels, smells, sounds and even tastes really different. That's why I've made it a habit to slow down to greet each new month—a unique chapter in the yearly story.
We’ll start by reading a fun, inspiring and winter-themed story together, then take a child-paced "Welcome Walk" to bring in the new month, and challenge ourselves to use all 7 of our senses to discover what the world is doing as this new month begins. As always, we’ll let our kids and their interests lead the way!
