The day that...
We made bread on a stick and picked up trash.
This morning we made pizza dough. We were using yeast to make the dough rise. Rise means grow. We put different ingredients in and we stirred it. We put in oil, salt, flour, water and yeast.
We broke the dough into 16 pieces. Mrs. T used her hands to break the dough in halves. Then we would count how many we had. We made the dough into a snake and flattened it, Then we wrapped it around a stick. We had to search in the forest to find sticks that were green. That means that we cut the branches from trees that were alive. Once we cut them off they are not living any more. We cooked the dough over the fire place. The children ate the dough when it was cooked. Northern shrike thought it was good and yummy. This picture is blue jay, red squirrel and newt eating the dough. Some of the dough had black stuff on it and it tasted weird to some but not others.
This picture is of lunchtime in the sunshine. We are glad that it did not rain. We read The Lorax by Dr. Suess. It was about a Lorax and a man. The man was making thneeds and the Lorax was the protector of the trees and he did not like the man cutting them down.
In Mrs. T's station we raked and cleaned up wood and picked up trash. It was green up day. We carried a big stick over to the log pile. We had to work as a team and climb over things as we went.
In Miss Wetzel's station we were finding things that were alive and not alive. We made a big rectangle with a stick in the middle. On one side we were putting the things that were not alive. On the other side we put the things that were alive. At the very end we all sat in the alive side because we were all alive. Miss Wetzel was not in the square because she was taking the picture and because there was no room.
Beaver and Eastern Chipmunk are hugging the tree. The tree was alive. We couldn't put it in our chart because it was stuck in the ground.
American robin fell down today. He got a scrape and a sliver. He was very brave. He made it out of the woods just fine and he stopped crying.
It was 70 degrees at the end of the day. When we measured the temperature at the beginning of the day it was 64 degrees. It was really warm. Some of our favorite parts of the day were making the dough, eating the bread, playing, picking up all the trash and roasting the dough over the fire.
The End.
