"I hope to help Mr. Sadowski." - Brave Barred Owl
"I hope to play Easter." - Mannered Meadow Vole
There was a lot to look forward to in the forest this week. We predicted that we might have some sort of Easter/Spring celebration. In our journals we stretched out words to hear sounds, used lowercase letters, and added details to our illustrations. We are working hard to remember an uppercase letter at the beginning of the sentence, finger spaces between words, and a punctuation mark at the end of the sentence.
There were many changes that we noticed on our walk up to our home base. The stream was high and flowing fast and there was a lot less snow and ice to slip on. As we walked we saw "Robinson River" which was flowing to "Wetzel Falls". Mr. Sadowski helped us name these natural sights after our teachers! We also noticed some feathers on the forest floor. It looked like some creature made a meal out of a bird.
After our sit spots we shared what we noticed. We noticed bird sounds, the ground getting softer, and snow melting among other things. We were all proud of ourselves because we listened to each other respectfully and waited for our turn to speak.
We went on a little walk looking for signs of bunnies... We talked about how even though a bunny leaves eggs on Easter they actually don't lay eggs! But while we were walking we found colorful eggs hidden all around. We were running to find them all.
Before our play time we had some popcorn. We popped it over the fire and then added some salt. Campfire popcorn is the best kind of popcorn.

"I ate Easter eggs and [a chocolate] bunny." - Noble North American River Otter
After we came inside we wrote about our day. We were able to quickly think about what to write because we had just experienced the day.
Although it was a little wet and rainy at the beginning of the day, we were happy to be back in the forest and to see the sun for a little bit.
