With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we were very thankful for all the wonderful time we spent together this week across the curriculum.
In Math, we made obstacle courses and were thrilled to test all of them out.

In Phonics, we searched for letters in nature and then used our stick pencils and mud to make the ones we couldn't find.
IN Art, we continued with our nature pencils to make dirt drawings.
We also did some excellent work inside. As part of our Wisconsin Picture Book Pan Pal project, we wrapped up our study of the Wisconsin author Lisle Detlefsen by celebrating two of her stories: If You Had a Jetpack and Time for Cranberries.
Connecting our science study of how people can save the Earth through reusing and recycling with our reading, we saved recyclables to make our very own jetpacks.
We also enjoyed (sort of) some cranberry snacks. We tasted raw cranberries, craisins, and cranberry juice.
Back out in nature, we continued with some science by searching for evidence of animal life. We found holey leaves, burrows, food scraps, bug holes, and even a worm that has survived the last few weeks of freezing temperatures.

In a very short writing lesson, we practiced our Sit Spots, shared some ideas to make a class list of observations, and quickly illustrated how working and learning in our outdoor classroom made us feel.
One picture really captured my attention as it was the only sad face. I was relieved after I did some further investigation. The gentleman in question said his picture was sad for two reasons that day: it was very bright and he didn't have sunglasses and he knew we would be going back inside soon. 😀
In Social Studies, we played. It doesn't get much better than that.
