Digging

Birch children have been so excited about digging. They have been digging so much in certain outdoor zones and in sensory bins. Since we were in the lower playscape today, we asked the question, "What do you find when you dig?" Before we went outside some answers were: fossils, bones, rocks, water, pipes, and bugs. The answer to the question after much investigation will astound you!

E - I'm digging for rocks. I have found a lot so far. 

Later, E - I found some rocks but now I'm covering them back up. I covered my shovel up!

F - I'm looking for dino fossils. Found this big guy down there. 

O and B - There's a scorpion under there! 

B - We are connecting the holes because the scorpions are so big this is the only way we can get it

T - Let's put the sand in the dump truck for now. 

O - That way it won't get back in

B - I found something! It's a rock. Must be a clue from the scorpion.  

S - I'm digging a den for aliens. They live in there. 

Miss Brooke - Are they here now? 

S - They are coming in 6 minutes

M - I've been finding candy corn!!! There's so much here!

A few random moments of joy to share: 

We went on a fun walk today. All the way to Rolling Rock Nursery! We picked out a pumpkin to take bag with us. 

Here they were voting on which pumpkins to take back with us! 

Instead of using the ramps for cars, children decided to use these as instruments! Soon a whole jam session broke out.
