First activity... "Art in the Park"
Our challenge was to collect "nature" from the grounds around the Great Lawn and then work together to create a "piece of art". We had 5 minutes to gather all our materials. Then we had a minute to sit and discuss our plans. Finally we got down to work to make something unique!
Our completed pieces...
 |
| Title: "Circle of a Heart" |
 |
| Title: "Indiana Jones Egg Nest" |
 |
| Title: "Campfire in the Square" |
Our next activity...
Using our senses we write a poem titled "Under the trees..."
 |
| We find a spot under a tree and take a moment to look and listen and smell and touch, and... |
 |
| ...feel |
Here are just a few of our original poems. Please come by the classroom to enjoy them all!
Finally...we head over to the MAZE!
 |
| It was SO much fun running in and out of the maze with our friends. Some of us went through it over a dozen times! It was easy for many of the kids but the teachers had a very hard time!! Thank goodness there were many children who knew the way out! |
What a GREAT DAY! The bus ride back to school was peaceful as we were a tired bunch!
