What to wear for the changes of seasons and the weather? Wear what will keep you comfortable. The changing seasons are the hardest to plan for … staying warm and dry is always a bonus! Everyone had a raincoat but…Seven seasoned staff members, seven different kind of shoes, seven different kinds of clothing today, all of us comfortable. #natuteschool #pratt
Repost from 2021…. ……… It’s time to change our perspective. Yesterday I spent my morning with these giggling, muddy, puddle jumping people. After they left I changed from my raincoat into my comfy warm sweatshirt and headed to a meeting at a local business, my pants were wet, my feet were cold and I was happy. When I got there I was greeted by “what a miserable day isn’t it?!” Miserable ? Oxford dictionary defines miserable as “wretchedly unhappy..”. Wretchedly unhappy because of rain ? It’s time to change our perspective on weather. #perspective #optoutside #pratt. And today I am sure one of you will hear “miserable day, isn’t it.” Hey weatherpeople this starts with you! #changeyourperspective #pratt @wfsbnews @nbcconnecticut @nbcnews @alroker @scot.haney.3 @cbsnewyork @weatherchannel @govnedlamont
Looking forward to a day filled with puddles, mud and worms. “But what are they learning? “ #regulation #watercycle #erosion #statesofmatter #physicsofsound #finemotor #mycobacteriumVaccae #causeandeffect #sensorylife #executivefunction #hapiness #joy #somuchmore

More importantly they are learning not to judge themeselves or their day by the weather out the window. #attitude #pratt
Exploring the world, making connections, moving our bodies, child-led play in nature is giving their brains and bodies exactly what they need. #playistheway #naturegottherefirst #optoutside #smarterhappierhealthier #pratt
