We saw the cones again today, which lead to another hunt. One child said that he had seen a guy in a truck put them out, but we didn't know who the guy was, so we are no closer to solving the mystery. Today we found them in the big soccer fields and near the gardens.
We also found a sign! The Turtles are very tuned into environmental print, and wanted to know what it said, so we sounded it out. The first letter was G, just like Gabby, and some children quickly guessed that the word was Garden!
We found another grouping of logs, and guess what? These logs had spiders too! We saw a couple of daddy long legs spiders.
When we were done chasing cones, we realized that the quickest way back was across the creek, and so Tamara helped us swing across!
We are also realizing just how much the Turtles love to feel like special helpers with jobs, and so we have started a new system: Each day at Morning Meeting, we have two helpers: one child who reads the names and one child who reads the choices. We have a list of the children, so they can see when it is their turn. Today Sadie showed the names and Patrick read the choices.
