Hello and welcome back from the weekend! Today was very exciting because we were able to go to the forest today!
We began our morning by greeting one another and making choices in the classroom. Students built with loose parts and designed at the light table. Some students played a dice and button game while others completed the challenge at the art table. The students were given a picture of a bird and were asked "What do you see when you look closely?" Some students drew detailed pictures of what they observed about the picture.
Later in the morning, we walked through the neighborhood and visited the forest! The students were SO excited to be in the forest on this beautiful day. Some friends took care of the forest by collecting trash. We had a pair of binoculars and a bird book that were both brought in by students. They were very excited to put these tools to use and the students were looking for birds! They found a lot of robins and a few students were determined to find some crows. Although they did not see any crows, they shared how they saw a lot of other birds and saw some big nests up in the trees of the forest.
We later went up to the top of the forest and spent some time walking across the two big tree trunks that were cut down. The students said it was an obstacle course and did a great job at balancing and walking across the two trunks! We returned to school and continued to practice balancing on the slackline on the hillside. Stay tuned for more adventures about birds!
