Lots of track today--deer, raccoon, & rabbit and others
By afternoon the melting snow was making a tiny river on the path.
Today we were busy digging. The ground is softening up and many children were focused on digging. In the AM they were "looking for treasure" and creating a mermaid pillow. In the PM they enlarged the hole and were creating nests for the dinosaur and pink donut eggs. Both groups had to use their problem solving skills and communicate about who was going to dig, where they would dig, and how to share the tools and rocks.
We used our muscles to move objects, balance, and build.
"Look what I have (leaf); I'm going to call it bacon"
Large rock is the mother and small rock is the egg that will "hatch lots of pink donuts, but we can't eat them cause they are human."
A couple children in the morning had a plan and asked to use a saw. At first they were going to make a chair for me, but changed their minds and made a robot instead.
The AM also used teamwork to get a branch out from under the log.
In the afternoon, more snow had melted so there was more mud. One child made "whiskers" and others just got messy because they were working so diligently.
We took group pictures with the kindergarten classes today too.
One standard addressed today was:
Emotional Development
A.EL. 2 Understands and responds to others’ emotions.
