Forest Day October 2, 2023

 Wow what a warm day for October! We loved the hot weather today--in the 80s. We did a lot of running and rearranging of sticks and logs. Some children difscovered they could roll the logs up hill and then roll them down again. Some children were climbing on the trees and others were digging in the dirt. In the morning we found a very wiggly worm that many had a turn holding--they said it tickled in theri hand. While digging a group found what they think is a dinosaur leg bone. They worked quite a while scraping the dirt from around it. Here is a glimpse of our day:

                                 Discovering the decaying log can color on other branches/tree trunks.

                                Experimenting with decying tree chunks to write/draw on bark. 

                                                                  Making a fairy house

                                                                      Making music

One standard addressed today was: Health and Physical Development--Motor Development: B.EL.1a Moves with strength, control, balance, coordination, locomotion, and endurance.
