Tuesday Among the Trees, October 4th

Our second Tuesday in the woods was a great success!  



It was wet outside so most of us suited up in rain pants.  On our walk we noticed chipmunks when we were quiet.  Some of us noticed that their cheeks were full.  They were taking food back to their homes to store and keep safe!  In the picture above, some of us were pretending we had chipmunk cheek pouches.


When we got to our home base we ate some snack and checked the temperature.  After we made several predictions, we found that it was a chilly 60 degrees.  We were glad that we wore layers!


After our meeting we got to work.  In one station we went on a color scavenger hunt.  We teamed up to find natural objects that were yellow, red, orange, brown, and green (like in the picture above)!  It was a lot of fun and we found a little of every color that we were looking for.



In our other station we started construction on our outdoor bathroom.  We needed to carry long sticks and prop them up to create walls for privacy.  All of us worked together to safely carry the sticks around the woods.

Now that our bathroom is ready, we're hoping to stay outside for longer next week!
