Surprise Creek!

 The kids are loving being able to watch these little caterpillars crawl around in the plastic cup. It's the first thing they ask about when coming into school! We spent the majority of the beginning of the day looking at the caterpillars, drawing them, and trying to make them out of clay. It was was both calming and educational! Shout out to L for bringing in a cool book about bugs and specifically butterflies 😊

Our day was not finished, however. After meeting we set out on our walk towards the sculpture park. We found out from another classroom that there is access to a creek a little bit down the road from the sculpture park. We HAD to check it out. Below you can see their excitement in being able to explore the new space. They talked about what animals they might see, what they could do in the creek, and how the water felt. It was such a good short visit that the kids cannot wait to throw on some rain boots and play in the creek for next time!
