Students in the Kindergarten class have been fascinated by the tiny treasures we can find all around us outside. We decided to take a couple of hikes through County Farm Park, across the street, to see what we could find! Students collected special items and as a class we laid them out in the classroom to examine when we returned to school. We worked on classifying and sorting our objects -- we put flowers together, mushrooms in a group, rocks to one side, leaves to another, etc. -- and counted how many we had in each group. Although this didn't take place during math time, this shows how project time can really integrate many disciplines! Students created sketches of their favorite finds and practiced writing about their objects.
