Evergreen Exploration

Today we began an evergreen inquiry unit. So many different types of evergreen trees; the needles, the pine cones... more on that in the days to come.
The full-day kiddos dove right in this afternoon and had a ball with our latest challenge...
Such intent faces.




These kids know how to think outside the box!!
  Each idea so original.
Check out these long pine needles:)
There is nothing more satisfying than watching young children approach a problem or challenge. They are not intimidated in the least and have amazing ideas!! We can all learn a thing or two from little people:) Enjoy a few of the finished evergreen trees!



A few of the children tried their hand at drawing like a scientist too. This is becoming a bit more routine and the children really understand the difference between a creative artist vs. drawing like a scientist and only drawing what is seen.
We took a closer look at pinecones this afternoon.
 
Impressive, wouldn't you say?!
 The phonetic spelling is pretty exciting too:)
