We always have a great time on our walks up to Summit Park but today was an exceptional one. I am sure I heard kids repeat "this is the best day ever" a dozen times or more. I'm not entirely sure what made this walk especially good but we were all feeling it.
The task today was to find heart shapes in our neighbourhood and in nature. We found heart shaped leaves, heart decorations on houses and even a heart in a sawed off stump of wood. We couldn't stop there though so we also looked for other shapes including rectangles, diamonds, triangles and circles. Along the way we also identified multiple signs of Spring, picked out a few letter shapes and listened to the birds chirping. Check out all of the pictures from the walk here. Another component of the walk was all of the neighbourhood construction. We came across large diggers in action on two separate parts of Fifth Street and even got to see inside a hole they were digging for a new water line close to the school. It was pretty amazing to see the tree roots below ground level. I am feeling pretty grateful that we got to get out and have this rich learning adventure in our neighbourhood! Comments are closed.
