"It's an acorn and a sprout is coming out of it."
"It's an acorn starting to grow into a tree."

"At my sit spot I found a grub."

"It's a big beetle that we found under the leaves and my friend picked it up with the bark."

"We found a worm."

"We were on the tractor!"

"I used the branches to get up and then I could hang upside down on the tree."

"We made a seesaw and I was waiting for my turn."

"I found a snail."

"Me and my friends were playing in the brook by the two big tanks."

"We were standing on a stump that this tree fell down." 

"We were under the tree and my friend called it the secret hide out."

"I was on top of the stump that had another tree on top of it.  And the seed from the tree must have got into the stump and it might have been a pine tree because there was a pine tree near it."

"The tree got uprooted so all the roots you could see them now and the tree wasn't standing up."

"Me and my friends were on the bridge picking up rocks."
"And we were trying to catch stuff, but we didn't catch anything."

"We were looking for things in the brook. We were looking for bugs and fish and bug houses."

"I found a rock with this little bug on it."

"We were mud painting."

"We had to find a stick and leaves or pine needles or something and then we had a rubber band and wrapped it around and then got mud on the paint brush and started painting."

"We were getting the boats down. And it kept going and going."

"We were painting trees from the woods and we were using watercolors."

"We found a tree in the woods that we wanted to copy on our paper."

April 5th

Before going in to the woods today, we were treated to making 'healthy' snacks.
They were delicious!!

"We made a rainbow from fruit and the marshmallows were the clouds."
"We used strawberries, melon, kiwi, blueberries, mangos and grapes."

"We made watermelon pizza."
"The crust was watermelon.  The sauce was yogurt, and the toppings were strawberries, blueberries and white chocolate chips.

"I was fishing in a pond. I caught three fish. It was a puddle and I pretended it was a pond.  "

"I was trying to climb a tree. In the morning I only climbed up a little, but at free choice I went up higher."

"The tree was watery."
"The tree was wet but it felt like ice, but it was really watery, so then I knew it was water."

"We were making a bridge over the water I was fishing in.  We were making the bridge so that we could fish and not get wet."

"I was carrying a really heavy log to the pond to help make the bridge."

"We were making a fort."

"We built a 'fire'."

"We built a fort and were singing songs and we made a 'fire'.  We pretended there was a pool and a car."

"I was trying to tie rope onto a stick and then to his leg.  And he tried to walk.  It was crutches."

"We built up the walls and put sticks on top and then put snow on top.  And then more sticks and snow.  We put acorns and popcorn inside of it.  We were trying to catch a squirrel."
"We worked on this during sit spot time and free choice time."
"It started out just small, but then we made it bigger."

"We cooked popcorn on the fire."

"I was trying to tie the crutches to myself."

"I built a snowman and I fixed him.  I dropped him and I fixed him again."

"We find a kind of home in the firewood pile."
"It had spider webs and a hole."
"There was fur and munched up acorns."

"We found squirrel teeth marks on an acorn."
