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!
