This afternoon we took a walk up to Harrison Field. Students learned new routines while outside in our community - walking on the sidewalk, stopping at crosswalks, boundaries in the field, how to take care of plants, and expectations for rounding up in the field. We will do many walks in the next few weeks to get ready for our ECO outings (Educating Children Outdoors). As we explored the field, we made scientific observations about what we saw happening in nature. From leaves starting to change 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. Students joined Mrs. Wrigley's community of learners during their free exploration time. Students enjoyed catching up with old friends and look forward to many more visits to Harrison Field.
