We began our day with journals and thought about what we would hope to see or do outside on a rainy day. It was our goal to head outside as quickly as possible because we knew the rain was coming.
It was slippery and squishy on our walk up to our home base. We were prepared in our boots, rain pants, jackets, hats, and even gloves. During sit spots we were calm and quiet. Some of us practiced meditating.
When we were sharing out our observations from sit spots it started to lightly rain. We tried catching the rain in our mouths. The rain got heavier and heavier as we were sitting and when we went to play the rain came down in sheets! Luckily our tarp area gave us a spot to stay dry. We were flexible and thought it would be a good idea to make our journey back inside.
Even though it was very wet and a little cold we were glad to have had an adventure in the rainy forest!
When we were back inside we made some cheerio bird feeders. We counted out 100 pieces onto ten frames and then carefully strung them onto yarn. We will either hang them in for the forest or maybe even outside of our classroom on a nearby tree.
In the afternoon we read Salamander Sky by Katy Farber. It was perfect for today since it was rainy and we got to see some salamanders under rocks before we took cover from the rain.
