As summer lingered beautifully, our Kindergarten class took advantage of the great weather by exploring a local pond. For the trip, we put on our scientist hats and observed and wondered about the life around us. We used our 5 senses to notice many interesting things. This week we especially focused on using our eyes and ears. We heard and saw many birds, for example. We saw frogs jumping in the water. We heard acorns plopping on the ground from the trees. From our observations we began asking questions. Some of our wonderings included:
“Why are the frogs out everyday and when it’s winter what will the frogs do?”
“Why are the white flowers next to the bench so small?”
In our class, we embrace curiosity and we are excited to have more adventures outdoors, as we explore the pond throughout the year.
