We began the day by studying some pictures of our logs and thinking about the question, "What happened to the logs?" Wills and Madigan hypothesized that some sort of creature bit them, and Madigan drew a picture of what this would look like.
At Morning Meeting, we talked about finding out more about the logs, remembering the idea that we talk to "The Man Who Takes Care of the Planet." And so the children helped compose an invitation to Dave, the Caretaker of the Meeting, to come and visit our classroom to answer some of our questions.
We went looking for Dave. He wasn't in his workshop, so we knocked on the door of his house, and he answered the door! He read our letter, and agreed to come to the classroom. Then David gave him a handful of acorns, and Dave was excited.
He said he had found a place where there were HUGE acorns. We followed him to a nearby oak tree, where we found these amazing acorns!
Dave said that the deer also like the acorns, and we found signs that the deer had been there:
Today we also celebrated a DOUBLE birthday!! Matthew and Caimin both had their birthdays today, so we had a very special outdoor snack of cookies, cupcakes, cheese and crackers!
