We're Going On a Nature Hunt

The weather is starting to change.  As a matter of fact, today is the first day of Fall!  As we move into cooler weather, changes will occur outside.  Before the weather turns for good, it was important to get outside and explore nature - living and non-living.  I asked Mrs. Smith if her class would like to join us for our nature hunt.  We thought this would be a great opportunity for the students to work with someone new and make new friends - we were right!  The students had so much fun!!  Each student from my class was paired with a student from Mrs. Smith's class.  Then, they were given clipboards and dry erase markers with nature scavenger hunts attached.  Off they went to explore the school courtyard and check off their lists.

Did I mention we had a ton of fun??!! To quote a student from my AM class, "I think this was awesome!".  I hope we can meet up with Mrs. Smith's friends again soon!
