Rocky Woods Feast October 27, 2014

We had a fabulous day today at Rocky Woods.  The weather was great and the students enjoyed all the activities.  Check out the pictures of archery, fishing, food preparation, and fire tending. After our meal we made "dough boys", which many students stated, "...were awesome!"  Finally, there was a hike to end the day. Check out the gallery of pictures below.  

Math Activities

This afternoon we did a combination of math paper and pencil activities and a game called Close to 100.  Students first worked on looking at subtraction problems and deciding if they needed to trade a ten for 10 ones.  Other problems did not involve trading. When they finished, they paired up and played Close to 100 using digit cards.  We have been working a strategy called Make 90, Make 10 to help us get close to 100.   

Pictures from the Victory Garden

We harvested several pounds of potatoes, onions, and carrots from the Victory Garden this week.

Our master gardner, Sonja, asks some questions.

Irini loves the dirt! 

Finch has some carrots!

The girls show their harvest.

Will and Timmy dig right in!

The three sisters (corn, beans, and squash) grow together in the Victory Garden.

They will be used for our feast at Rocky Woods next week.  Any leftovers are donated to the Medfield Food Cupboard.  Nice work!
