Yesterday was the hike for the Foxes and the O'Possums classes at Spicewood Country School. There are 13 acres of land behind the school and we trekked across a creek and up a hill in the bright sun. It was funny to see the kids reactions. Some were less than enthused and ready to eat and get a drink of water. Others wanted it to last forever. Conleigh was very happy that I was on the walk. The teachers showed the children how to mark their path when they are hiking. They waved down at their school and the playground from the top of the hill (mountain to the children). They looked for all the creatures that live in the woods. Conleigh is an expert at spotting spider webs. We always stop and investigate how intricate they are and how hard a spider had to work to make it. I think her school has opened her eyes and interest to little bugs and creatures. She is always talking about worms and caterpillars, wasps, ants, etc.
They are learning a song about Beetles to sing at graduation next week. Graduation? Next week already? I can't believe preschool is over!
Oh, by the way, Conleigh wasn't interested in repeating the hike today, so she skipped school and we had a low key morning. Our neighbors Michelle and her son Bishop came over to play.
