I’ve been trying to dodge the rain with the Kindergarteners as much as possible and get outside whenever we can. Recently we traveled into the big woods (i.e. Mike’s Trail) and placed a table cloth down on the forest floor. The children made predictions about what they thought would either fall or crawl onto the sheet. We left the sheet overnight and came back the next day to find lots of leaves, tree seeds, pine needles and a big, fat slug!

On the inevitable rainy days, the K students have engaged in art projects that have a science bent. For example, last week they made marble roll painting – tilting a box top to move marbles over and around paint. It was all about gravity, tilt and angle and the pictures came out beautifully.
Today the students helped do some weeding in the school garden. It was a lot of fun!
These gloves can be so hard to get on!
