Nov 28 Forest Day

We were back in the forest this week. It was the dampest day yet, but it did not dampen our fun and learning.

Students noticed that it was darker today--more overcast than other weeks. One student pointed out a nest we had not seen before.

There were houses, campfires, teeter totters, and slides built.

Others "made art" on a tree with mud.

Some rested.

Many were busy balancing and climbing.

Some sang songs--one drummer and three different songs sung at once.

Today our rhyme was:
There was a little turtle that lived in a box
He swam in a puddle and climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito.
He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a minnow.
He snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito.
He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow,
but he didn't catch me!

Please remember hats and mittens/gloves on forest days--the weather is finally getting cooler.

One standard addressed today was:
Creativity and Imagination
B. EL. 2 Expresses self creatively through music, movement, and art.
