Science
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 BLIND CONTOUR DRAWING today. Keep your eyes on what you are drawing and do not look at your hand as it draws on the paper. This challenges you to look very carefully at what you are drawing.
How do today's observations compare to last time?
Optional: Watch and listen to author Emily Morgan read aloud from her book: Next Time You See a Pillbug. What new information did you learn? What new questions do you have?
