Pine Hill Park

 

We had a great Spring Hike through the Pine Cone Adventure Trail at Pine Hill Park.  We stopped and explored at all 12 stations.  

We climbed Big Elephant Rock!

We collected sticks and built forts in Stick City.

We built designs with natural materials in the Balance Station.  

We hopped on stumps.  

We built Fairy Houses.  

We used the rope to climb to the top of the hill and back down again.  

We looked to see if the troll was hiding under the bridge. 

We measured the Giant White Pine trees.  

We took turns reading the story along the trail.  

Griff's Greenhouse

 

Thank you so much Bruce for a wonderful trip to the greenhouse.  

Despite the rain, we walked across the road to visit the greenhouse.  

We had a great time transplanting seedlings!

Thank you for teaching us about all of the different jobs you do at the greenhouse.  

Musical Instruments

 

The culminating activity for our sound unit was to design an instrument made from recycled materials, write a list of materials needed and then build the instrument.  Some instruments didn't work out the way we thought they would.  Just like real engineers, we kept making changes until we got an instrument we liked!  

We had so much fun designing, building and playing our instruments!

Solar Eclipse Day

Solar eclipse day fun! 

We wore our special glasses when viewing the eclipse!

We made Solar Eclipse day crowns.  

We made "galaxy dough".  

We counted out sun and moon cereal pieces into groups of tens and some more and ate them for snack.
