E.C.O. (pronounced with long E)

We care about ourselves....we care about others....we care about the earth.  We continued to review our three cares while participating in our outdoor education program on Wednesday.  INQUIRE with your child how they show the three cares in the forest.  Students are continuing to learn and practice routines and behaviors while learning and exploring in Harrison Field.  This week, after reading the book, Once There was a Tree, we pondered over the idea of who actually owns trees, especially those in Harrison Field.  In this particular story, a beetle, ants, a bear, a titmouse, a frog, a woodsman, and an earwig make the stump their habitat.  As we explored Harrison Field, we looked for creatures homes throughout the forest.  INQUIRE with your child what kind of home they found.  Also, what large animal did they see and hear once they reached the ridgeline??
