Winter Wisdom
Winter brings its own sounds, colors and textures to explore through observation and
deep listening. This guides them to learn more about a child’s “sense of place.” Typically
offered in January and February, this program includes:
! Senses walks
! Silent observation
! Inquiry-based questions
! Winter stories & poems
! Sharing special places
! Music of the rain
Another way to reinforce deep listening and connection to nature is to ask each child to
listen and remember the first sounds they hear each morning. These lessons can be presented in
any order.
