Sit Spots

For our last ECO lesson, the children created their own "sit spot" in the woods.  For this week's blog entry, I elicited help with the post by asking them to answer...

What are sit spots?

Joseph says, "You sit down and build your sit spot.  If you're quiet, some animals will come out."

Parker says, "You can sit down near a tree on the ground.  You can decorate [your sit spot] with things from nature.  You bring your backpack with you to hold some bird seed to give to animals and we bring our ECO journals."

Maeve says, "It's somewhere where it's quiet.  I used sticks, leaves, and pinecones [to make my sit spot].  If you are really still and quiet, an animal might come."

Ask your child to tell you about the sit spot he or she created at Harrison Forest!
