The week before......when it was rainy (!)

 We took advantage of a very wet day to make a tent fort in the classroom! This day was different, with paper crowns, stories, and paper marshmallows and fires.

We Have a Map!

We explored our trails following a map that we've made, naming spots along the way. The children grasped the concept of "where am I now?" and were eager to find the spot on the map that corresponded to our place on the trail. There was a long discussion about the "singing tree" and lots of listening. The children are familiar with and enjoy exploring their favorite spaces, but the maps helped us to move along the trail!
Until Next Time,

We Hiked With the Whole School!

This mbc we celebrated the middle school student's bridge making accomplishments for stem week by hiking with the whole school! We had our own little hike, too, to quiet things down a bit. A nice way to spend a sunny breezy afternoon.
