The day that...
we found cool crystals and awesome ice crystals.
It was a wet day again today. /w/ /e/ /t/ wet. We had our morning meeting inside and practiced counting by 5's.
In Mrs T's station we were finding objects and we were making a word list. We used describing words like silent, still and steady. Some more words to describe things outdoors are wet, rough, quiet, loud, humongous, small, tiny, peaceful, gargantuan, wobbly, sloppy, floppy, slippery, wiggly and teeny tiny.
With Dr. C we made some Flying Foxes on a piece of string. We hooked them on a piece of string and they went fast. Dr. C twisted the paperclip so we could hook it on the string. Some foxes did not go fast. We had spools of thread with no string on them. We taped more on to make it go faster.
With Miss Wetzel we did Fundations. We tapped out words. We practiced upper case letters and lower case letters.
We had lunch and snack inside and then we headed into the forest. We were walking. It was slushy.
There was snow on our way out. On our walk up, some of us played a game. We pretended that the water was poison and we couldn't step in to water or on the ice. We were trying to step from rock to rock. We were playing lions. River Otter was the king lion and Box Turtle, Beaver and Eastern Chipmunk were the baby lions.
We had sit spots together today. Under the tarp. We were quiet for 3 whole minutes. Silent. Box Turtle heard the wind and it sounded like a bear to her - many children agreed that the wind sounded like a bear. It was special because it was raining and we heard fun sounds.
There was ice at the waterfall. Red Squirrel tried to block the waterfall. Many children wondered where the water came from. Next week we might follow it and find out. Some kids crossed a bridge over the brook. The bridge was a log that fell over the water. Some kids thought it was a bridge and others thought it was a tunnel.
Today it was Dr Suess' birthday!
