We missed you, forest!

Hello and welcome back from the weekend! I hope you had a great few days with your child. We have been busy today with loose parts! The students began their morning by making choices in the classroom. They used loose parts to experiment with sound. Some students took small containers and filled them with a variety of loose parts. They noticed that different materials created different sounds and pitches.

We walked to the forest with Maple friends! We were SO excited to see the forest because it has been so long since we have visited! Since it was pretty muddy, we played up at the top of the forest. A lot of friends played on the fallen tree while others observed the beautiful yellow flowers. Some students found flowers that had fallen and took them as treasures. We came back to school and built with blocks, played some games, and designed with loose parts and light table materials. Hopefully we will go outside and enjoy the weather this afternoon!
