First Friday Outside- September 2, 2016

 Today we went outside and ate snack. It was our very first Forest Friday Day.  We were feeling amazing because we got to play. We were on the baseball field at our elementary school in Vermont.

 We were practice standing around the fire and not stepping in it because if we did we might get burned.

 We played a running game. This game had animals in it like chipmunks, blue jays, and people. We played this game to look and observe like animals. We also learned that when Ms. Eckert hoots like an owl we all need to come back to the fire, so we are safe. We will keep practicing.

 We are running back to Mrs. Koski and Ms. Eckert because they made a hoot like an owl. We were racing back to the circle as fast as we could.  Ms. Wendy joined us and she was flying like a blue jay.

 We were sorting the bugs into different groups. We sorted them into  crawling groups, jumping groups, flying group, and digging groups.

We were walking to pick up the bugs.  We picked up the bugs by putting our hands under the bugs and scooping them up gently.

We hope to find some caterpillars or any kind of bugs to bring inside our classroom.  We hope that we get to drink hot chocolate and roast marshmallows.  We are curious about how to light a fire.  We are excited to make tea.

We are excited to pick out our animal names.

Thanks for reading our blog!
