Forest Journals

This week, we moved to Woods Wednesdays which fits better with our new spring schedule. This means that we now have time for a favorite forest routine– Forest Journals! This year’s forest kids have never done them before, but they are well-seasoned writers who took to the idea quickly.

Rowan was checking on many of the trees in the forest and finding that they were in fact healthy!
Aubrey: “I was licking the tree and it tasted like bark.”
Elliott: “I am talking to my tree.” You can see that he is saying “Hello,” and his tree is saying “Hi” back!
Emilia: “I was making a machine.” She and Madelyn made it with trees, stumps, a rope, while wearing Grundens!
Sadie: “We can meet our trees.” She is talking about the trees we are studying. We spent a long time getting to know them today, exploring them with our five senses, and talking to them.
Gabe: “I found a worm.” He found a LOT of them, all over the woods!
