Forest Day Nov 7

Oops! The blog with pictures accidentally got published in the weekly EL blog area. Please check there to see our latest outdoor learning and adventures. I will do my best to get it here as well.

Forest Day Nov 7

We had a fabulous fall day with temperatures reaching in the upper 60s by afternoon, so it didn't take long for sweatshirts, gloves, and hats to get piled by the water bottle tree.



We were busy using tools, found items and our imaginations all while interacting and communicating with each other.

Tools and digging--found roots and looked for buried treasure














Building structures--to slide down and climb up and balance on (even some karate moves while balancing)




















Discoveries--mushrooms, moss, curvy snake branch (letter S), roots, worms, and rocks












Imaginations--singing, drumming, bus to the pumpkin patch, "old man of the Forest", tooth fairy visit, surfing on a board, bear hunt
















We are excited to continue our adventures next week!

Here are a few standards we were experiencing:
Social Competence
Performance Standard During the early childhood period, children in Wisconsin will show evidence of developmentally appropriate abilities in the following areas:
C.EL. 1 Demonstrates attachment, trust, and autonomy.
C.EL. 2 Engages in social interaction and plays with others.
C.EL. 3 Demonstrates understanding of rules and social expectations.
C.EL. 4 Engages in social problem solving behavior and learns to resolve conflict.
Program Standard Early care and education programs in Wisconsin will provide the environment, context, and opportunities for children to develop social competence.
