Explovery Day - Day 3

Hello Families,

Jodie and I would like to start a weekly outdoor day for Explovery.  We go outside almost every day but we want a day where we can 'dig' a little deeper.  

We'd like to designate every Day 3 as Explovery Day and spend a good portion of that day outside.  There is so much we can do out there and learning comes through play and exploration.  In order to facilitate a day of outdoor explovery we need the children prepared to be outside for an extended period of time in all kinds of weather.  I will send a reminder the day before that Day 3 is tomorrow.  If the forecast is for rain or snow please pack the raincoat/snowpants etc.  We want to be able to experience nature in all it's glory.  Certainly, we will not go out in a thunderstorm or blizzard but all the rest is just normal weather.  We have a saying in Outdoor Education..."There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing choices for weather."  

Tomorrow is Day 3 and we will be 'getting out'!
