Builders for a Day

"There's no leaves on the trees because they fell off.  They go on the ground."
*This is the view from Miss Soule's sit spot.  She laid on the ground and looked up at the sky.  While doing this, she saw two birds fly by.

"We found a salamander in the woods, under a log."
We were curious if salamanders hibernate, so we looked it up when we came back inside, and we found that most species of salamanders do hibernate.

"We read the book "Fairy Houses"."
"After we read the book we built fairy houses."
"Some of us built our very own houses.  Some of us had partners."

"We are building our fairy house.  We used sticks, mud and leaves.  We made a bed out of leaves."

"We were using teamwork to make out own fairy house."
"We used leaves and a lot of sticks."

"I'm building my fairy house.  I'm making the doorway.  I made  a couple of walls on it."
"I dug a hole so when predators come and the fairies hear them, they can just get in the hole.  And I camouflaged it with a leave so that the predators won't get the fairies."

"There were lots of twigs on the tree and I put long sticks on the twigs to make stairs.  And in this picture I'm building the entrance."

"We were trying to make leaves for the ground.  We accidentally picked the green beautiful thing on the top.  And we shouldn't have really done that.  The next time we do Wednesday in the Woods we'll do more details."

"I made a fairy house where the fairies had to dig down deep."
"I put a table and a bath in my fairy house."

"We are working on our fairy house and we added lots of sticks in a circle.  And we had a leave for a roof.  We had a little door and a little slide."
"We made 2 little seats out of tiny acorns.  They were beside the house."

We made paths for tennis balls that Mrs. Cramer brought down to the woods.  We made zig-zag trails out of sticks.  Some people made jumps.  Groups used different methods to stop the balls.  One group made a hole at the end, another group used a pile of sticks.   Other groups put a big piles of leaves, so when the ball hit the leaves it stopped in the leaves.  We made zig-zags using sticks to help stop.  Some groups made a tunnel out of bark.
