Reading in the Wild

Lisa and I went to Reading in the Wild at a local nature center. It is a weekly outdoor story time. Each week there is a theme, and the instructor reads books and leads activities about that topic. This week it was "seeds." She read two books about seeds. Then we went on a seed hunt. She had a paper for each kid with pictures of seeds that we had to find. The kids collected their seeds in a cup as we walked. Then, they examined the seeds with magnifying glasses. At the end, they made art using seeds and markers. It was a great experience! We're going back again!
