We were so excited to go to the forest today. For some children it was their first time on a bus. We were very busy. After hearing a story, we practiced finding the boundaries--pink ribbons mark our "walls".
We found a few treasures--a daddy long legs, a centipede, a hickory nut, some bones, an antler, ants, rocks, a heart shaped leaf, a "dancing"/spinning leaf, etc
There was lots of running, balancing, building, and imagining--an old piece of cardboard was a trampoline, some children made a kitchen with a cutting board, a bone with leaves became an elephant in the morning group; in the afternoon there was much speculation about where the bones came from (many dinosaur names were discussed), some children were hiding/sneaking/spying and one girl "cleaned" the dirt out of one of the holes.
We enjoyed our snack and headed back. In the afternoon we spotted lightening so we came back a little earlier than we had planned and ate snack on the benches inside school.
I can't wait to see what next week holds in store!
One standard addressed today--Sensory Organization--C.EL. 1 Uses senses to take in, experience, integrate, and regulate responses to the environment.
