Today we found some interesting things. The girls wanted to build a new fort. The boys joined in and we found teeny tiny black snugs had hitched a ride on Susanne and M. Later while sitting on a log ER and friends saw a giant beetle. A May Beetle, similar to a June bug but doesn't eat your lawn. Then EF saw an orange mystery item. It looked like a mushroom but it's actually a mold called Wolf's Milk. The boys had fun adjusting their fort while the girls used fairy dolls and magnify glasses. J found a piece of bark and used it as a book and tablet. ES had one and used it as a tablet to type on. There was some silly tipsy turvy play on the logs too. A great day in the woods.

We found some interesting things at the lake today. Check out this video I made. https://youtu.be/7aoA7YhNwo8 The water level was very low. We found a few fish who were trapped on land as the water lowered. We found a crayfish crawling around the rocks. So exciting! At camp L had a great idea to make a bridge. He decided to make a suspension bridge. J and M joined in to help.
Today we went to our camp. It was a fun day. We used tools and climbed trees. Some even drew pictures.
We did find something sad, a dead vole. What happened? Why is it dead? Who killed it? Is that blood? Can we bring it back to the childcare? No. When it's just bones? It can live with the fish. Maybe. I wonder if it will still be there tomorrow? Will this become a new interest? Will we need to bury it? It does smell bad. In the last few weeks we have been discussing death. First it was S's dog passing away. Rest in peace Loucille. Next was ER's cat getting very sick then dying. Rest in peace Moses. J remembered the death of his Grandparrents dog and it's burrial spot in the backyard. Rest in peace Lolypop On mother's day weekend ES was remembering her Grandmother who passed a few years ago. Rest in peace Mrs Commerford.
We have discussed how we feel about the loss of a loved one. I have been following their lead and answering questions with minimal truthful information. So far there have been no religious question. I keep everthing generic. We have read a few childrens books that discuss death or loss. These are big topics and can have big emotions. Sometime these things get put away and don't bubble back to the surface for a couple of months or years. Incase this topic comes up at home I thought you would like to know where it came from. I you have any questions please contact me. By the way we found a dead vole today. So we begin again. Written by S Robitaille. There is a nest over our door. First there was a Momma robin sitting inside. Then a Daddy bringing food for the Mamma. Then we saw three little beaks poking out. Now the nest is empty. Where did they go? Will they be back? They grew very quickly. Written by S Robitaille.
We were heading to the pond inlet when we stopped at the BROCK letters. We found a purse. Of course we had to bring it to the lost and found at campus police station.
On our way the children thought every person could be the one who lost the purse. Then they looked more carefully to see if they already had a bag. Male, female it didn't matter. They could be the one missing their purse. Written by S Robitaille. We wanted to clean the earth. Susanne brought some gloves so we can clean the forest. We found a lot. We even found extra bags. We filled three grocery bags.
We noticed the lake was very full from the rain and very dirty. It made everyone sad. Written by S Robitaille. For Earth day we have been curious about different animals around the world. We have been looking at books teaching us about endangered animals and why they are endangered. We saw a video about orangatans and their habitat is being destroyed for palm oil. We saw a video about sea turtle migration. Greenpeace has some good child friendly animations. We care very much for the world around us and all the creatures. We made a newspaper to share our knowledge. We even recycled our srap paper to make new rainbow coloured paper. We found a puddle with pollution in it from a car. We see garbage everywhere. We are doing our part, how about you. We went to the pond inlet today. The waterfall is not working yet. We noticed the lilypads and cattails have been removed. We are concerned about the fish and frogs. Hopefully there habitat is okay. After we played in the playground. It's a beautiful day.
