Rainy NAP

Despite the rainy weather, we had a great morning for NAP on Friday.  We extended the morning circle and played charades with the focus on what we are thankful for. The students showed an enormous amount of creativity when acting out what they were thankful for.  From the number seven and popsicles to snow and the earth, our responses ranged immensely.  During snack, we used our eagle eyes to observe a real stuffed owl!  When we got outside after a flying squirrel movement game and song, Amy described a recipe a friend gave her to make a forest and brought the ingredients with her to test it. We were not impressed that the ingredients included cocoa (soil), vinegar (water), candy corn, and garbage, etc and went into the forest to search for the right ingredients.  This week we will sort these ingredients, measure what we have, and write out a real recipe for a forest with ingredients that we believe make a forest!
