Critter Camp
Down by the Pond
5/09/16
The Kindergarten kids discovered a whole new area of our school grounds as they took a walk by the pond. Holding their nets, magnifying glasses, and containers, we went off to search for living things from plants to bugs to birds. Our goal was to use all of our five senses to discover this part of our marvelous world.
The kids caught bugs, felt the soft seeds of the cat tails, examined what looked like berries on a bush, observed the wildlife around the pond, and even tasted delicious (or not-so-delicious) dandelions!
Once we returned to the school, we recorded our findings and discuseed what we discovered. It was a beautiful, hot, 90 degree day!
