Wednesday in the Woods, April 20th

The day that...
We listened to sounds.


We are making pictures of the creatures that might have made the sounds that Mrs. T played.  One student drew a dolphin, another drew a beautiful bird.  Wood Turtle and Blue Jay both drew beautiful birds.  Mrs. T did not tell us what the sounds were - we had to guess.  When she finally told us, we found out that one of the sounds was birds, one of the sounds was geese and the third was the sound of frogs called peepers.  These are all spring sounds.


When we went outside we listened for birds.  This is a picture of us on our way out to the forest.  We are in the amphitheater.


We tried to climb on an old tree branch.  Some kids needed help. We were trying not to fall.  If we fell it was the next person's turn. When someone reached the top we gave them a cheer and an high five.  It felt really good to get to the top.  Mrs. T was proud of us for being brave.


Chipmunk's mom and little sister came to visit today.  Chipmunk's mom is a photographer.  She helped us take pictures so we can make a forest alphabet book.  This picture is f for feather.


This picture is Northern Shrike in a nest.  The letter n!


This is Box Turtle eating wooden watermelon.  This will be the picture for W.  


After play time, we had morning meeting. This student is wearing a worn out mitten.  The animals chewed through the top and made a nest out of it.  Just like The Mitten by Jan Brett!


This is a picture of us eating lunch on the rock.  It is different because we usually eat lunch by the fire.  We called it lunch time in the sunshine.


This is stations.  Friends were in teams of two.  They were writing words that ended with the same letters as the word that was on the front of the card.  We wrote words like map.  Beaver and chipmunk had the _in card.  They wrote shin and chin.  The words had the same ending.


We visited our buds again.  Some were pointy and some were round.  Today we saw our first green buds.  Red Squirrel has become our bud expert.  He likes to collect buds during play time.


We had a really good day.  It was 50 degrees.  It is supposed to get even warmer today!  It felt a little bit cold in the morning but at the end some students even took over their jackets because it got a little bit warmer.
`
The End.
