The day that...we tapped maple trees and found jeweled rocks.
 |
| During playtime when our friend got sad we built back her fort, and it ended well. Playtime was a long time today, maybe because it was so warm out, it was 54 degrees today. |
 |
| We had popcorn for a snack, and then we went back to play. |
 |
| We made pretzels shaped like the letter in our name, the day before forest day, then today we ate them. |
 |
| We were finding things we wanted to learn about. We had a sheet that asked what our item looked like, what it felt like, smelled like, and what you thought about it. We had to use describing words. |
 |
| Here is a piece of hemlock. |
 |
| An auger drill, or bit brace, is what we used to make a hole in a maple tree. |
 |
| We put a lid over the sap bucket so rain does not get in the bucket. |
 |
| We are tasting the maple sap. It tasted like sugary water. Some of us also tried the light colored juicy wood, it was good to just chew for a bit like gum, not to really eat. It was good. |
It was a hot and muddy day. We stayed outside all the way until art class.
