Today we started off the morning getting to know each other's names by introducing ourselves and then playing a name game. We thought about what we hoped we would see or thought we would see in the Wissahickon and then drew a picture of ourselves discovering it. After some snacking and some discussing expectations about our time in the woods we set out for Frog City. There we observed water striders, caught a centipede, climbed over and under fallen trees and tracked frogs. We saw many swimming, hopping and hiding. Some were brown others were green and all were fast. But one wasn't as fast as we were and we were able to catch it for a moment and take a peek at it up close. We collected some creek water and thanks to queen capturer Sofia, we were able to take some Water Striders back to our classroom for observation this week. In the afternoon we worked on a mural, went swimming, ran on the playground and created some worm observation stations. One is a purchased item but the other you can make at home. Ask your creek crawler how to create a worm hotel.
