Cascading Colors Of Autumn

As Autumn glows with a vibrant colors of rust and golden yellow we are reminded that all things change.  This change is good for us and our surrounding environment whether inside or outside.  We of course love the outside, but as the weather begins to change and slowly usher us into Winter I wanted to remind you to stop, if only for a moment and observe what is going on around you.  It is soo important to take that moment and reconnect with ourselves, our loved ones and our Mother Earth during these times.

Here at Frosty Pines we have been taking the time with students and their families to really enjoy this special season.  Most recently we took a journey to Pastorius Reservior for some bird watching activities.  Here we had to stop and quietly observe our surroundings and get to know the eco-system.  In doing so the children spotted not only Yellow Rumped Warbler's and Canadian Geese, but Bobcat tracks and  Crayfish as well..

We ended our adventure by buildiing a kite that we set out to fly after paying close attention to the changing winds.

What a great day!
