Forest Exploration

As we headed into the dense forest, E was excited to start exploring in between the trees and along the overgrown paths. He set out behind some of his friends and began his journey. 


E worked hard climbing over all of the obstacles. He watched as his friends navigated their way through and imitated their movements. 




"Come this way!"



"I have a stick."


E dug in the dirt for some time with a friend from Magnolia. They used sticks to dig into the wet dirt. They said they were looking for bugs. Unsuccessful, E moved back into the dense trees. 


"A tree!"


"I climb up."


"I'm a monkey!"

E tried climbing the first tree,but found it difficult. He looked to his right and noticed a short stump under a branch. E carefully stepped up and chose an easier tree to climb. 






"Monkey! Ooo aahh!!"


E took the time to find out which parts of the forest he could manage. When he faced a difficult obstacle, he simply looked for other ways to achieve his goal. He never gave up on his quest to climb the tree. E persevered and used flexible thinking to find an easier way to be successful!

They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
