Ice Balls!

Our rainy day began with art and sand. We also took some time to check in on our ants, who have made a few new tunnels and seem to have recovered from their traumatic move yesterday.

There were also some amazing new structures being built in Frog teams and groups!

At Morning Meeting, we read a very tiny book called, Tall. Friends were able to read most this book, because it only has a few words that rhyme. So, they would look at the pictures, figure out what was going on, and then figure out what the word was (sometimes Carol would give them the sound of the first letter). They were very excited to realize that they can read!

At Choice Time, the most popular choice were the Ice Balls! These were literally balls of ice each with a surprise frozen inside each one. Friends put on their safety goggles and took hammers and CRACKED the ice!

Others took some time to compose some tunes on our new keyboard.

Friends tried some different tactics to get the treasures out. While they worked with their ice balls, we wrote down their observations about ice in our Notebook.

Then we headed out into the rain. We checked for puddles, and counted how many there were on the puddle tree.

We spotted some new flowers.

We found a monster!

We stopped to talk to our friend, Justin. He teaches math in the middle school. His students were doing a worksheet, and we helped them get the answer to #33.

We gave the camera to friends, to take pictures of interesting things we found.

This is how some of the pictures on the wall look, when you are a Little Frog.

We visited our art. On our way back, we met up with our favorite truck driver, who brings food to the cafeteria. He honked the horn for us and we headed back for lunch.
