On Wednesday, we walked to the frog pond behind the Fieldhouse for our last Nearby Nature session of the year. As we walked near the soccer fields toward the pond, we saw and caught our first frog hopping through the grass! Then we spent about thirty minutes walking around the ponds looking for more frogs to catch! In the end, we caught five frogs and we had some brave children we even held the frogs. When we returned from the frog pond, we watched a puppet show about frogs and learned about their different sounds and the difference between a frog and a toad. What was your child's favorite part of our field trip? Thanks to Jess and Jane for a wonderful year filled with so many nature adventures!
On Friday, we had a wonderful time at the Jog-a-thon. So many children said it has been their favorite day of the year so far! We first went running around the circle and for each lap, the children received a tally mark on their race bibs. Every ten laps equals one mile! Be sure to ask your child how many laps he or she did. They were all working hard out there! Then we had a picnic lunch outside and enjoyed music from the DJ, games and activities from the Big Blue Trunk, and smoothies from the City Market smoothie bike! So much fun and excitement....everyone will sleep well tonight!
Have a great weekend!
