The day that...
We played all day.
Today we sang songs in the morning. We were practicing for our spring concert. It was a rehearsal.
We were answering the morning question. "What do you hope to see in the forest?" Wood Turtle and Red Squirrel hoped we would see lots of trees. We did! Newt hoped we would see a newt. We did!
We are reading a book before we go to sit spots. The book was about being alone. Frog was happy to be alone.
These students were working on our alphabet book. We had a long play time today. Lots of kids were doing lots of great things. They were curious and creative.
This is Blue Jay holding a newt we found. We are not sure if it was a newt or a salamander. Its skin felt wet. It was a water creature. The creature was black and red. We found it under a rock. We found it on dry land and we thought it was not alive. When we put it in water it was alive! It survived! When Blue Jay put it in the water the creature was swimming and moving around and it made a hole. We named it Sam.
Eastern Box Turtle was handing out tickets. We were in a band. People came to watch the show. Eastern Chipmunk was handing out tickets for people to join the band. After the show...
Everybody joined the band! We made music. We were banging on a tree branch and making it shake. It made a shaking sound.
American Robin is sitting in the pile of sticks. He was pretending it was a nest. Rocks are pretending to be eggs. The eggs are going to hatch.
American River Otter fell on a rock. Wood Turtle was helping him out.
This picture is from our walk out of the woods. We saw a chipmunk on the way out! Some of the people didn't see it at first. We gave them clues to help them find it. We said "It is close to the Y tree." The kids got closer to the rock and they thought there might have been 2 or even three chipmunks.
Jumping mouse fell down on the way out of the forest. Beaver, Chipmunk and Box Turtle got him a walking stick. Red Squirrel picked up his lunch box and carried it for him. Other students held his hand on the way out. Mrs. T was happy to see us looking after each other.
Today was a really warm day. We played a lot. The temperature was 56 degrees. Today showed that the kids owned the forest. They were comfortable and calm and happy. Everyone was working together. We have only 2 more days of Forest School but we will be a part of the forest forever.
