This morning we took a walk up to Harrison Field. As we practiced being "S-A-F-E" (as your child what that spells!) we made scientific observations about what we saw happening in nature. From leaves changing colors to squirrels to looking at different types of caterpillars we were able to make many fascinating observations. Once we arrived at Harrison Field, we looked closely at the mammoth sunflowers. These sunflowers were planted by my first graders last year with the intent to help my current students study the life cycle of sunflowers. As we finish up the study of a butterfly life cycle we'll move into that of a sunflower. Before leaving the field, we joined Mrs. Wrigley's class in a game of red light, green light! The field was a bit slippery, but all children showed 100% effort and cooperation!
