Cindy and Jessica gathered some children in the East Wing and took a walk to see what they could find to enrich the materials they used in the classroom. The children collected different leaves, sticks, and flowers they found on the ground.
Stella: “I found a chocolate leaf.”
Jessica: “I have never heard of a chocolate leaf.”
Mia: “No, it has brown on it like chocolate.”
Stella: “I put in a leopard leaf. It has spots.”
Georgia I: “Like a leopard. Leopard leaf.”
Cindy: “How can we use the things we found?”
Devin: “We can make things with them.”
Micah: “Like trees.”
Declan: “Or airplanes and scorpions.”
Stella: “We can’t take the stuff home. It is for us to use at school.”
Lucy T: “I drew a cat and the leaves are falling on it.”
