Early Childhood - Outdoor Classroom

Springtime brings rain, and rain brings fun! Exploring nature at a young age aligns with children’s natural instincts to be scientists and explorers. The outdoors gives them an opportunity to use things they can physically see, feel, and experience to introduce science in a way that is meaningful to them. Here, the children enjoy the sandbox and barefoot creek after a rainy night by building and balancing on bridges, creating dams, and of course, playing in puddles!

"Let the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find a puddle of water; and, when the grass of the meadows is damp with dew, let them run on it and trample it with their bare feet; let them rest peacefully when a tree invites them to sleep beneath it's shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them in the morning as it wakes every living creature that divides its day between waking and sleeping."

--Maria Montessori

5, 19, and 20.

😌❤️ Incredibly concise. My ADHD caboose could never. I appreciate you.

5. Favorite form of potato

Savoury Squirrel Bakes - a recipe from the official Redwall cookbook, which I received when I was like 8. It involves potatoes, cheese, and chives all rolled in egg and then breadcrumbs and then baked. Ridiculously delicious.

19. The veggie you dislike the most

PEAS. They’re wretched. They have no place in my kitchen.

20. Favorite Disney princess movie

So, putting my burning hatred for Disney as a company aside - how could you ask me to make this choice??? There are so many different feelings pulling me toward different ones. FINE. I guess I’ll say Beauty and the Beast. But I want you to know that I almost added a read more so I could explain why Pocahontas and Frozen 2 were very strong contenders and it’s going into my tags anyway.

Ask me more weirdly specific and unrelated questions!

#asks #ask game #anon #LOOK #beauty and the beast appeals to me because Belle is the princess most like me in basically every way #I even ended up with a big grumpy husband and I love him to pieces #that library she gets? dream come true. #but I also grew up on a lot of acres and with a big yearning in my chest and Pocahontas just called to me in a way that is hard to explain #I have a very close and personal relationship with nature that comes from spending a lot of time outside barefoot climbing trees and wading #through creeks and YEARNING for something that is unattainable #and I was gonna say Frozen but the reason I love the Frozen movies is because of Elsa and I think the 2nd movie really captured what I love #I’m ace and I don’t often crave representation but seeing her on that journey and realizing at the end that she was calling to herself… #Elsa was the first princess (queen - whatever) to not have a love interest and to actually make some very good points on that matter #and seeing her whole and complete and fulfilled by embracing herself rather than someone else was breathtaking to me #she is the one most likely to make me cry because I feel so seen #in another lifetime I would’ve settled down in a qpr with my 2 besties and been completely content #I have a lot of love and I love to share it but idk that I need romance so much as I love companionship #I do love my husband tho and am very content with our life 🥰❤️

any bears out there wanna come give me a tick check (romantic)

#i definitely needed this little jaunt and it has been almost perfect. but wouldve been better with someone to lean up against on the #rock above the creek and share my snacks with. and give each other tick checks after walking barefoot through the meadow. #im just a gay little creek rat

[my-reputation-precedes-me]

if there’s ever a train that goes back to 2014 i’m gonna be the first one to board it

#i wasn’t there for 2014 tumblr #since i was like 8 years old then lmao #but i’m romanticizing the shit out of it now #oh to be a teen girl living in L.A. in 2014 😩 #they got all the bops back then too #like ultraviolence; 1989; bury me at makeout creek; my everything #i should’ve been there for it #but alas i was watching minecraft videos on youtube #which was kinda nice ngl #but damn i should’ve been bumping arctic monkeys while walking barefoot on a beach in california #😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Lets talk about Simon and Betty

spoilers for episode 8

So a lot of people are throwing around some strong accusations about their relationship, some I can see where they're coming from, and a lot are really reaching.

As for the ones that I think are reaching, a lot of people are saying that Simon and Betty were a professor/student dynamic, except they weren't. Simon wasn't teaching a class he was a guest lecturer, and Betty, having read his work was interested. She was excited to meet him because she liked his research. Simon was constantly mocked in his field, if you actually read the newspaper clippings from "I remember you" you'll see that even after he found the enchiridion, he was made fun of. People were literally laughing at him and throwing things at him while he was giving his lecture. Betty likely was mocked too, it makes sense she was so excited to meet him, because this was her chance to meet one of the few people that actually shared her interest. She did not yet have a crush on him at that point in time.

I think after she got to know Simon on a personal level her fascination of him changed, as she no longer viewed him as a "celebrity" (I use that term loosely for a lack of a better word, I can't imagine his books sold that many copies, what with him being a laughing stock and him being genuinely surprised that Betty had read his work), but rather a colleague and equal. She even said that after their trip together she had grown to admire him as a person, so it's not like she had any kind of feelings for him prior to that. Now that's not to say her feelings towards him were completely normal, but there definitely wasn't a power imbalance between them.

A lot of people are saying Simon was selfish for making her stay behind, but he didn't make her. She chose to stay behind. She could have still gone on that trip, and continued to write to him and talk to him on the phone, but she chose to stay with him and go on different adventures. You're forgetting that Simon and Betty went on expeditions together all the time, it's not like she gave up her career for him, that would be a whole different story, but she made the decision to continue working in her field alongside him.

Also Simon couldn't have gone on that trip if he did want to because he wasn't offered to go, who ever it was that gave Betty that opportunity, wasn't anticipating on her bringing a friend, he also didn't have anything with him but like his wallet and keys you can't seriously expect him to go to another country with no luggage, no plane ticket, no money, no nothing. A whole part of Fionna's character arc is realizing that life's not a fairy tale, she was expecting something out of a romance novel and got a story straight from reality. Realistically the two options were for Betty to stay or to leave Simon. And I don't think her giving up her trip to Australia was a sacrifice, because there were other trips and opportunities after that, she traded that one trip for an entire lifetime of them, (or at least it would have been if war didn't break out)

And if you're gonna call Betty impulsive, call her impulsive because she went on a trip around the world with a man she had never met, not because she walked through a creek barefoot lmfao.

I'm not saying that Simon and Betty were perfect but there are other reasons to criticize them.

As for the actual problems with there relationship, none of them are their fault. Betty going literally crazy trying to bring Simon back was because of Magic Man and Patience fucking with her brain, a human being cannot handle the amount of magic she was given and it drove her to insanity. And Simon now, with risking everything to bring her back, she's literally fused with a chaos god and is going to live for eternity in that state, did you ever think maybe he wants to get her out of that for her sake? That maybe he wants closure and to say goodbye? Since he never got that chance. No it's not healthy for Simon to drive himself as far as he did to bring her back, but Jesus fucking Christ can you blame him for not wanting his fiance to suffer for literal eternity? They don't need to break up, they need therapy. I don't think their relationship pre-mushroom war was unhealthy, and I don't think it ever would have been unhealthy without Betty becoming Magic Betty.

Their relationship flaws are more so their own individual flaws that have bled into their relationship as opposed to ones caused by the relationship itself, that's an important distinction you have to see.

Froggie m'love ever since you mentioned GOTH (haha God Of The Hunt = GOTH) Gaz I can't stop thinking of him @.@ If you have time I would love to hear one of your rambles about him ♡

Got Of The Hunt!Gaz who loves play-chasing you through his forest♡ There are ofc no weapons involved since this is more like foreplay for both of you but the danger still makes you feel hot.

Just imagine being clad in only a loose, short, white dress, running barefoot through the quickly darkening woods, your breath hitching as you hear the echo of your lover's laugh. You curse slightly under your breath, a smile forming on your face; you know that this play is basically futile since Kyle will catch you anyway but does he really have to be so smug about it?

Before you can take the next turn right by a beautifull little creek you feel your body getting tugged and you tumble down onto the soft foliage with a loud 'oof!', your lover's smug and annoyingly handsome face right above you as he bumps his nose against yours.

"I won yet again Love! You need to get better if you ever wanna beat me hehe~" Kyle laughed at your annoyance and before you could retaliate with a smartass comment he captured your lips in his, his full, soft lips feeling divine against yours, his stubble tickling you making you giggle happily into the kiss♡

*weakly, voice hoarse and barely audible* c!clingyduo were so young. so bright eyed. they were sixteen and they played in the creek and ran barefoot over the hills and nothing could hurt them as long as they had each other and c!Wilbur and L'Manberg. and in their minds they were going to win the war. it took them both multiple deaths to start letting go of that idea. years after the war they catch themselves still believing it

#inspired by rät came on shuffle and i was violently thrown back into 2020. #ctommy rät animation changed lives. mine especially #he bit the apple cause he TRUSTED you. And why would you lie? Then he realized youre just as naive as he is. #He loved you he loved you he loved you its true. He wanted to be you and do what you do. #He lived here! He loved here! He bought it! Its true!!! He feels so stupid!!! and so used!!!!!!!!!!!!! #im like 80% sure ive said this exact thing on here before but what is this blog atp if not me reliving old cclingy memories like a war vet #doodle.txt

"The Little Shepherdess (1892) "Oil on canvas, 160.6 x 114.0 cm" [Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada] -- Paul Peel (Canadian; 1860 - 1892)

Paul Peel (1860-1892) was the son of a marble-cutter and drawing teacher (John Robert Peel). He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy, Philidelphia (1877-1880 under Thomas Eakins); the R.A. Schools, London (1880); and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris (1881) under Gerome and others.

He returned to London, Ontario, and Toronto for a short time about 1890, but was chiefly active in Paris. He travelled widely in Canada and in Europe, exhibiting as a member of the Ontario Society of Artists and the Royal Canadian Academy. He later returned to Paris where he died in October 1892. Before his death he had achieved a considerable success for his technique in such academic subjects as 'After the Bath' (1890).

He was one of the first Canadian painters to portray nude figures, as in his A Venetian Bather (1889). At the time of his death Peel appeared to be changing his style toward Impressionism. However, he did not live to develop his art beyond its academic sentimentalism.
