Rain Won’t Stop Us!
Posted by Ann PalmThe morning of “Camping Day” was rainy but the PreK students kept a positive attitude and started out camping inside! There we learned about sleeping bags, pack pillows, chairs that collapse into a small package and nesting pots to use for cooking. The idea of having no electricity or running water gave the students a lot to think about. The lantern would supply light, the ice chest would keep things cold, and fire would provide the heat for cooking. And, a parachute draped over a few chairs made a great indoor tent!
After lunch it stopped raining, so we headed out to the Unquowa woods. Seeing a bundle of material change to a tent big enough to fit the entire class inside was amazing! In the tent we beaded necklaces and had quiet activities. Outside we noticed that after the rain, the brook was running faster than usual and we even discovered a waterfall! To top off the day we roasted smores and in true camping fashion we washed our sticky hands in the brook. It was a fun, memorable day for early childhood students and teachers!
