Spring walk

During our spring walk, the children observed so many things happening outside, then they collected some things to bring back to class to look at a little more closely.

In this picture the children are exploring a bouquet of flowers, just like we would find growing outside.
They were able to touch them, smell them and pull them apart. On the light table you could see the patterns and veins in the petals. The pop bottles and paint were the perfect representation of flower petals.

Just a few of the many, many, many dandilion bouquets I received during our walk.

So many to pick in this wide open field!!

The children love going to the bridge, there are so many things to see. We noticed the pollution, and that concerned some friends. They wondered what lived in that water, fish, ducks, alligators?

What is this!?
We are going to explore this animal home more.
