The Week in Review




When we walked through the woods we had our "spying eyes" looking for "woodland treasures". We found moss, berries, dead leaves, pine cones, sprouting acorns, bark and lichen.


We ended our week with two fun activities--making dandelion cookies and a walk in the woods. We learned about
the different parts of the dandelion and that dandelions are nutritious. In Russia, there is a dandelion plant that has sticky stuff in the stalk used for making rubber.

Wedgits provided the children with a building activity that required them to discriminate between sizes and stack the pieces together without having the tall towers tumble.


Goop--cornstarch and water--gave the children the opportunity to watch a substance go from liquid to solid.


The climber was a popular spot for action/adventure play. There were sharks circling the pirate ship, mountain climbing expeditions and a secret hide out underneath.
