The Camp Out!

Happy Weekend Everyone! Friday was a lot of fun for us Sea Stars! We started out our group time with a hike. We split up in 4 groups and each group took their bag of nature and dumped the contents of the bag in different areas of the classroom. Then we hiked around with our binoculars and experienced what each group found from our nature walk on Monday. It was fun to see the different leaves, twigs, flowers, berries, and beans that they found. After our hike...wheeeeweee...we sat around our tents (that kayt brought in and set up for us. THANKS!) and drank from our canteens that we made on Wednesday. It's always good to rehydrate after a long hike through Coastal. hahaha.
Our carpet activity was quiet reading in the tents. Boy was that hard to keep quiet. It's too exciting to just sit in a tent! They wanted to jump around like it was a bounce house with no bounce!!! (laughing) At table one we did BINGO for chocolate. (that was a winner all around) At table two was our nature table. We collected everything that we had hiked around and put all together with the magnifying glasses to take a closer look. That was interesting to see. And at our crescent table was connectors. They made tents and teepee's.
Outside they played golf. Sydni, Christopher, Donovan, Dane, and I played baseball. Man can they hit a home run. haha. Eli and Christian dug for bugs. They are very into nature and all things that live in it. And last...but not least...we played tag. I think I've been give the official title of "Monster Crackin" from Jacob and Donovan. After Nathan (Donovan's Dad) that is.
Today's Comment: Christian - "Don't hurt my bug. His wings belong to nature and you're not allowed to trap him from the sky!" How cute. Love the boy that loves nature.
I hope you all had a fantastic week and I will see you all on Monday! Take care.

Thank you everyone for celebrating Kona's 3rd Birthday at school! Thank you Miss Kat for the update. Kona told me nobody had the yogurt parfaits at lunch although everybody sang the Birthday song for her. Unless you mentioned (and uploaded the pictures) about it, I would not have known. I hope kids liked the parfaits that I made.

Thank you everybody for celebrating Kona's 3rd birthday at school! Thank you Miss Kat for the update and pictures. When I asked Kona if everybody enjoyed the perfaits, she said nobody ate the perfaits (although she was happy to have everyone sing a song for her at lunch) I hope kids liked the perfaits.
