Visit your Sit Spot: Find a spot where you can sit and observe for 5 minutes each day or week. Ideally this spot will be outside. If going outside is not an option, you could look outside through a window or choose a spot in your home.
See Sit Spots and Field Journals for things to consider and how to set up your field journal to record your observations and questions.
Try SOUND MAPPING today: Put a dot in the middle of your journal page to represent yourself. Draw two or three circles around the dot. Listen carefully to what you hear surrounding you. When you hear something (wind, bird, airplane, etc.) mark on the map approximately where you heard it. Use symbols to represent what you heard.
How do today's observations compare to last time?
