Field Trip

A few weeks ago Josie went on a really cool field trip with her co-op preschool to Camp Long. The week before they made binoculars out of toilet paper rolls and talked all about nature and habitats and fall. On the field trip they had a long list of things that they had to find (orange leaf, yellow leaf, fern, spider web spider, pine cone, mushroom, etc. etc.) It was a really fun day. At the end they were set loose to look for hidden pumpkins. Each child found a pumpkin (hugged it tightly) and then brought it home. It was my work day so I was able to see the kids in action outside of the classroom which is always a treat.
Below: Josie with her binoculars and her bag to collect all of her treasures. They were instructed to only collect the things that were on the ground and not to disturb anyone's habitat.
