Milo's teachers take the kids out each day (weather permitting) to the Back Four, which is a nature reserve/trail on school property. In warmer weather they make forts and collect nature samples. It's been Milo's favorite part of the day.

His teacher writes:
"This week brought yet another opportunity to explore the back four. It seems like it’s a brand new place each time we go. When we arrived, we discovered that all of the places that had become marshy puddles last week (and prevented us from going back there to play) had frozen over and turned into mini ice skating rinks! Some of us wanted to see what would happen if we broke up the ice by hitting it with sticks and some of us wanted to preserve the ice so we could skate on it. This provided an excellent opportunity for our group to decide democratically how to proceed: some areas were labeled as “skating areas” and some were labeled as “hit the ice” areas. We worked together, made a lot of observations, and helped each other up when we wiped out."
