Forest Friday, September 22nd



These are pictures of our journals from the morning.  Students helped to write the words by listening to the sounds in words and writing the letters that we have learned so far (t, b, f, m, and n).

This is a picture of our sit spot time.  We go to a spot that is all our own and observe what is happening around us.  When we go back to the fire to meet as a whole group we share something that we have noticed with one of our five senses.

During play time we were finding little creatures again.  There were a lot of salamanders!  We are practicing how to hold them carefully.  Some of us helped hold the creatures together.  Next week we are hoping to practice our careful handling of the creatures with a lesson with bugs!

For snack, Mr. Sadowski took us through the garden to collect beans.  We pinched the ends off and put them over the fire.  Some of the beans were green and yellow.  Some of the other beans were purple and magic.  After we boiled the beans we found that there were no purple beans in the pot!  Just like magic, the purple beans had turned green.

After play time we went to stations.  In Miss Wetzel's station we made patterns with different materials around the forest.  After copying a few patterns that Miss Wetzel made we got to make our own!

In Miss Robinson's station we went on a scavenger hunt to find different things around the forest!

In Mr. Sadowski's station we worked as a team to find different objects.  We made lots of collections and practiced listening to one another.

Even though it was warm we were a little cold in the forest.  It was only sixty degrees when we went out!  It was a fantastic day.
