"There are leaves on the trees.  They popped out in the spring."

"We were videoed in the woods."

"Ms. Rasco was making a sea-saw and me and my friend were on it first.  Then other people came.  And, we had the same t-shirts on!"

"We were building a house."
"I built this house at my sit spot and then it got ruined.  Then they rebuilt it."

"I was raking the leaves for Ms. Soule. "

"Last Wednesday we made a leaf pile and this Wednesday we added more."
"We were covered with leaves.  We were playing in the leaf pile."
"I was hiding in the leaves."

"There was an yellow acorn and squirrels took a bite out of it."

"I had a stick and stuck it in a piece of wood, and took the inside and whipped it all around to say 'Shoo, shoo' to the bugs."

"We found a fern.  The thing was popping out and it was curling around."

"We were finding animals.  We found a snail, centipedes, salamanders and worms."

"We were making bread.  And we were cooking it by sticks.  We mixed it up with Ms. Soule."

"We made the dough and then found sticks and then we swirled the dough on the sticks and put them over the fire."

"It tasted like bread, and a little bit like stick."

"We read 'A Tree Named Steve'".

Listening to the story.

"We were drawing a picture about a tree.  We named our tree Maple."
Other friends named their trees: Sean, Samara, Michael, Fred, Happy Tree, Daisy, Sunset, Rio, Joel, Fiuzzball, Barkley, Benjamin, Mason, Barky, Brick, Gorg, and Dino-tree.

"We drew our trees like scientists."
"We felt the tree."
"We took a paper and put it on the tree, and rubbed it.  It made bumps. "

"Mrs. Brown and Ms. Rasco helped us get down a vine and we used it as a swing.  We invited so many people over, and than it made a sound like it might break."
"It was really fun and we were hanging upside down."
