Lovely Land Day 4

We began with Gratitude Circle and a Categories Game (walking in a circle, when you get to the cone name an insect that hasn’t been named yet before you run out of time). Then we finished the last layer of their rainforest books. Next, we talked about how to identify a few more local plants (Eastern Red Cedar, Hickory tree, Red Oak, Creeping Charlie, Violets, Chickweed) while they finished painting their tangram puzzles from Monday. At snack, we worked on their original play and then went to the obstacle course for a bit. Next, they finished their Mixed Media Art by gluing natural found materials onto their watercolor painting. Lastly, we discussed plant adaptations and they designed a plant to survive a specific biome (desert, tundra, grassland, temperate forest, rainforest). During lunch, they finished a run through of their play and then we went to the creek.
