Walks & Water

We had another fun, busy day today in the Acorn Room! We joined the Seedlings for a walk, but before we left, I told the children that I wanted them to look for water while we were out. They sure took their mission seriously! Before we even left school property, everyone excitedly stopped to show the first source of water: a parking lot puddle! We found several more puddles within the first block of our walk. :) As we walked next to Bristol, the Seecorns noticed some small round holes on the rock wall. They were also filled with water!

We continued walking down Gore by Rolling Ridge, and noticed water yet again-- this time in a bowl! What was this water for? "DOGGIES!" We then stopped at the largest water source: a little creek rushing underneath the street. We hopped up on the wall to check it out and talk about what we were seeing. "The bubbles mean it's moving!" B shouted. "Yeah! I think it's coming from a waterfall over there!" J agreed. 

We then went down to the sculpture park to do our favorite thing: have snack! After sitting on the wall and having some graham crackers, we headed back to school. The Acorns have been remembering their water studies throughout the day, and talking about it with each other. J went and picked up a blue glass stone when we got back to school, and held it up to the light. "There's water in there!" he exclaimed. It is really cool to see them making connections!

 Look! Water in a puddle!

 Water in holes on the wall!

 Water in a bowl!

 Of course, if we spot a train, no matter where we are, we must stop to watch!
