Megan and Dawn's Crew
- Learning about ants and what they are attracted too, using oranges as bait so we could vacuum them up and then study them in the containers
- Playing group games, teaching each other games and sharing roles in the games. We played soccer, tunnel ball, many made-up games initiated by the kids including hide and seek and stuffy instructions, and predator vs. prey.
- Tool circle was a busy place making creations come to life! Walter made a stuffy swing, Cosma made an ant, Talia made a rainbow space ship, Theo made an alien and Julien made a Space unicorn.
Connection questions:
Which bugs did you like collecting ? Did the ants eat the oranges? Which game did you teach the class, or which one was your favorite? Did you try a new tool in the tool circle today?
