Themes Explored:
-tracks and animal signs
-building from scratch
-tool use
-rough and tumble play
Skills Embraced:
-built a dead fall trap following pictorial and verbal instructions
-continued to build bird feeders and make decisions on how to best design them for the birds, and where to place them
-followed animal tracks and made hypotheses (educated guesses) based on the information (for example, we found a cat track: therefore, it could be a house cat or a bobcat)
-carving with new tools (toothpick, needle) and adding texture (wire) to the crayons
-discovering our personalities, knowing ourselves
Connection Questions: We are using the True Colours personality forum (Orange, Gold, Green and Blue) to think about who we are. We gave each of the groups an animal personality; ask your child if they were a Magpie, a Deer, a Chickadee or a Squirrel?
