Fabulous Field Trip

Our field trip to the Hands On Children's Museum was awesome!  The kids spent two hours exploring all the exibits and working up an appetite.  We ate our lunch on the capitol campus lawn.  The big trees had lost a lot of their leaves and provided plenty of leaf throwing fun.  Then it was back to school.  A big THANK YOU to the chaperones -- we couldn't go on field trips without you.

Leaves and Trees

Since it wasn't raining today we went on a walk to look at the trees and their leaves.  Everyone had a magnifying glass and their science journal.  They each did a bark rubbing in their journal and then explored the leaves and trees with their magnifying glasses.  We found a big piece of bark on the ground and underneath were several bugs which were passed around and carefully examined, we looked at a spider and watched it wrap its prey in silk, and then we found worms!  What could be better than that!

Lego Mania

The Lego center is a big draw at choice time.  Each day their creations become more elaborate and I like listening to their explanations of what they have made.  What I like the most is that they play well together and share the Legos.
