Movies and a Wet Walkabout

This morning began with reading, as close together as possible,

as well as some artistic expression.

We had a morning dance party, before we settled down for Morning Meeting.

Another beautiful Moment of Silence...

and then Hoppity showed up for another Stick Talk, and another challenging game of, "IS THIS A STICK?" Turns out things can be sticks AND something else. Like a pencil made out of a stick, and chopsticks. Very tricky.

We then discussed a new safety rule. Many of the Little Frogs like to tumble about a bit, and so do the Turtles. We learned that the Turtles have a rule that, if a friend doesn't want to tumble anymore, s/he can say, "Time Out!" and then friends quickly get off. The Frogs thought this was a good idea, and everyone wanted to take a turn to practice.

Then we headed down to the Turtle room for the premiere of our first movie: "The Little Frogs Tell Stories - Take One." This was a chance for the Frogs to see themselves on the big screen, and to get a clearer idea of what we were doing when we filmed yesterday.

It was wonderful to see the Little Frog's faces when they saw themselves.

Afterwords, we had snack and then headed out for a rainy walkabout. We found lots of mud puddles to jump in.

We also stopped to play a game of Invisible Baseball.

There were lots of cool things to find - new kinds of leaves and seeds and trees that are changing every day. Some of them, we discovered, are naked! We didn't even mind getting a little wet.
