Forest Finds

 While exploring the forest today, L & F noticed something peculiar in one of the logs.

"Hey! Look there's some metal in here! What?! How did it get here?" 

F came over and took a closer look. 


F & L pulled and pulled on the bolt and chain. 
"Heavy!" F yelled as he tried to take it out. 
"It is too hard to get out!" L agreed. 

F turned around and started back up the log, but quickly stopped. 
"Look!" he shouted and pointed to another bolt stuck in the log! 



"How did these get here?!" L asked 
 
F shrugged and wasn't sure how they got there either. L talked himself through it. 
"I think that a crane came here and dropped this here! Or maybe some construction guys came and drilled them here. Maybe aliens dropped it here. They might have done it too. The metal came from the sky maybe?" 

L made many predictions on where the metal pieces that were jetting out of the log. It's funny to see them just notice this chain and bolt because it's been there for as long as we have been going to the forest, but that's why we love to go. It provides us with endless opportunities to find new things.

Creek Time

  Happy Tuesday! We spent our entire afternoon out at Larson Park! It was definitely a hot one so when the kids heard we were going to get to play in the creek, they screamed in excitement. Not everyone wanted to stomp around in the shallow water and that was a-okay. Such a fun afternoon splashing around, exploring, and doing a great job sticking together as a class!

Tree Swing

The Pine kids were SO excited to get back to the forest today. Because S spends the beginning of her day in another classroom, she was already familiar with a coveted branch that hung low enough for the kids to try and swing on.  "There's a tree swing at the forest, we should all do it!" S, who seemed to display a high level of confidence, took a hold of the branch as R handed it to her. She took a deep breath and jumped off the log.  S swung with grace over the ground.  The others watched in awe and quickly lined up to take turns.  Each friend took a different approach and not always quite sure on how to get the same kind of lift and swing S did. W seemed unsure on the whole activity, but was willing to try. He couldn't quite get the desired swinging motion and lost interest after his first try.  L saw how the others were swinging and although a little scared, decided to try several times in a row be...
