ECO Friday

Despite having to change our plans a bit for ECO today, we had a great time. It was such a windy day, we did not feel like it was safe to hike up to our base camp. Instead we stayed on the Mad River Path, which stays lower and is not as windy. We hiked and explored some new areas, while searching for items that were special to each student and materials for making mice out of clay. 

Then we had a snack and some tea, while listening to a story about a mouse who collected special things. 

Then we returned to school to draw and write about the special items we found on our hike. 

And we made clay mice, which are as cute as can be!

lLater this afternoon, after some great math, we listened to another mouse story by Leo Lionni and created mice to display in our classroom window.
