Welcome to our blog here at Earthwise! We are gearing up for the 2020-2021 school year over here, gathering together our favorite autumn songs and crafts and already dreaming about acorns, pumpkins, apples, and all the Fall season wonders that are waiting to be discovered by our class. Throughout the year we will share some highlights from our class days, as well as favorite crafts, recipes, or other fun tidbits that forest school families might find interesting. For now, I want to share this poem that am feeling inspired by from Nicolette Sowder, founder of Wilder Child and the Wildschooling movement. Enjoy! “Give me the wild children
with their bare feet and
sparkling eyes. The restless,
churning climbers. The wild
ones using their outside
voices, singing all the way
home. Give me the wonder-filled
glorious mess makers
dreaming of mountains
and mud, aching to run through
a field of stars.”
