Nora: “Leaf and acorn.” You can see the rain all around.

Hayden: “I found a grasshopper. He jumped off Jackson’s hand.” He wrote a “G” for grasshopper and you can see the circles where the grasshopper was jumping down.

Jack: “We were playing in the den.” He labeled “River” “Jack” and “Logan”

Our shared writing. Labels: “tree,” “clouds,” “rain,” “leaves,” “boots,” and “stream.”

Laurel: “We found worms in their houses.” (Under logs, which you can see in her drawing). She labeled worms with “w”s and you can see how the arrows show where they live and how the log goes back down.

Astrid: “Roly-poly under a magnifying glass.” We found a lot of these under logs (roly-polies, pill bugs, sow bugs, isopods, whatever you call them!) and Astrid chose to draw hers zoomed in.

Rowen’s Forest Journal. You can see where he labeled with the beginning sounds! 

The apple tree by the garden is still providing tasty apples. We look for ones that aren’t mushy! And we are careful of the yellow jackets who are still enjoying apples too.

“Sleeping Hare” is a game that gives us practice being quiet and still in the woods. Can you see Hayden peeking out from behind these leaves?

One group of Forest Kids was digging out an underground home.

Another group of Forest Kids was a family of bunnies.

Our shared writing. We learned about this rain gear and how to put it on and take it off today.

Emilia’s writing: “I was playing on a log and pretending it was a unicorn.” You can see where she wrote her friends’ names who were playing with her.

Jack: “We were digging an underground hole.” You can see where he wrote Lyndon’s name and an “M” for “me” and “an M for him too” (as he described).

Silas: “I was fighting a monster with Hayden and Emilia.” He wrote his friends’ names using the word wall too!
