For our first week of school we took a "field trip" to a near by Nature Center and enjoyed a hike through their butterfly garden. The kids once again had fun finding "treasures" on the ground and enjoyed seeing all the insects.
For school, the kids drew pictures of their favorite thing in nature:
Then they sat and listened and we made a list of all the noises we heard.
Finally, we enjoyed a sack lunch.
This little girl had fun. She is my story teller and has quite the imagination. As we were walking along the trail, she stops and points up into a tree and starts telling us all she sees an owl. The kids tried to convince her otherwise, but she was certain there was an owl in the tree.
After the kids sat quietly and listened, I asked what noises they heard. The oldest two said birds, insects, wind and vehicles...Busy Bee said she heard an elephant sound.
Finally, on the way home, I asked the kids what was their favorite thing they saw. Busy Bee said she enjoyed the camel.
No, we did not go to a zoo - but Busy Bee sure had an exciting morning!
