Pod A: Nature Walk and Books

There were lots of activities going on today to end our short week in the classroom.  This morning a small group of kids who were interested in going on a walk went with Ms. Szumila and Ms. Mills around the CMU campus.  On our walk we found pinecones, sculptures, and stopped at a pond.  Before we got to the pond many of them thought we would see fish in the pond but once we got there we found lots of leaves in the water, but no fish.  Pierce saw that many of the tree had no leaves, so we thought of reasons why.  He said "It's Thanksgiving, that's why they don't have leaves."  Rose even pointed out a birds nest in a group of tress for all of us to see.  We even sat at a picnic table to read a book.  After most of us were feeling the cold air we made our way back to the CDLL.

This week we added drawing into our books about ourself.  Today's question asked what does it mean to be a friend.  Each child was able to draw what they thought it ment to be a friend or what they do with their friends.
