X Marks the Spot

In continuation from the treasure that was found yesterday, L was determined to hide the newly created treasure in the forest! If you watched yesterday's video you will remember that L explained the plan for today's forest visit. Basically:

1. create treasure

2. hide the treasure in the forest

3. mark an X on a map

4. tell other classes to find the treasure! 

The kids started the day out by creating a beautifully jeweled pipe cleaner to represent the treasure. F, L, and O worked very hard to get these beads with the tiniest holes! Nevertheless, they persisted and created beautiful pieces. 




The treasure was made and ready to be hidden in the forest. Once we arrived, L took it from there. 


Once he buried it, it was time to mark it with an X and place an X on the treasure map. 



This was so fun and we couldn't keep the game to ourselves. L and the others agreed that it would be really fun to give the other classes in the building a chance to find the treasure! Now we wait to see who will find it and what kind of treasure they will leave for the next class.

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...
