Woods Time and The 5 Senses in the Middles

If you ever visit the Middles… 

You may hear a Middles say, 

“We have Woods today!” 

You won’t see recess on the schedule; instead, you’ll see Woods.

You’ll see Middles hiking up Grasshopper Hill. 

You may feel the wind on your face

You may feel your heart beating fast.

Catch your breath. 

You might smell the sweet smell of meadow plants and grasses 

Or rain in the air. 

You’ll see Middles circling up at the top.

You’ll hear Woods' announcements.

“The bakery is open today!”

You’ll see 2 “bakeries” in Woods Town. 

You may taste wintergreen treats. 

You may see a hawk circling above. 

You’ll hear laughter.

Sometimes you’ll hear arguments.

Sometimes you’ll feel peace.

You might see someone climbing a tree.

You may see a performance in the Woods— perhaps a comedy, a tragedy, a romance, or something else! 

You’ll see tree excavators (but only the dead trees!).

You’ll see homes. 

You may see some wildlife if you’re quiet ( but we’re not usually pretty quiet ).

You’ll see leaves falling from trees 

Sometimes you’ll smell woodsmoke 

Hopefully you’ll feel free.

Free from worries

Free from screens 

Free to be you.
